About Susan

Susan Ramsey-French is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with eight years of clinical experience. She focuses on life purpose concerns alongside stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, and coping with life changes. Susan also addresses relationship and family problems, self-esteem, bipolar symptoms, and compassion fatigue.

Susan uses clear, practical methods in sessions. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow what matters most to each person. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and build different behavior patterns. EMDR is part of her work with trauma when that approach fits a client's needs.

People meet with her to talk through emotional overwhelm, recurrent panic or low mood, and problems that follow major life changes. She helps people map patterns such as codependency, communication problems, control issues, and attachment concerns. Practical coping strategies and short-term techniques are combined with longer-term work when needed.

Susan brings attention to how past experiences affect present choices. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with regular check-ins on progress. She also uses mindfulness and motivational interviewing to strengthen awareness and motivation for change.

Sessions are offered in English from her Florida practice. Costs vary with location and are managed through a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

Therapeutic approaches used for online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy is about focusing on what matters to the person in front of the therapist. It involves listening closely, reflecting what comes up, and helping clients name their priorities and choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to change patterns that cause distress. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used with people who have trauma-related memories; it involves structured steps to reduce the intensity of painful recollections and the reactions they trigger.

Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. The therapist will collaborate with clients to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences. Sessions can mix short practical tools and deeper processing over time, based on how the client responds.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, it can reduce commute time, allow a shorter check-in during a work break, or let someone choose not to be on camera when that helps them focus. Licensed professionals can use these formats to maintain continuity of care across changes in schedules or location.
