About Susan
Rev. Susan Sciarratta is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 12 years of counseling experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and loss, and people coping with life changes and career questions. She also supports concerns like motivation, self-esteem, confidence, and compassion fatigue.
Before counseling, she spent two decades as a professional engineer, which shaped a practical, problem-solving approach to therapy. Sessions focus on clear goals and steps clients can try between meetings. Conversations are direct and rooted in everyday life rather than abstract theory.
Susan uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address mood, trauma, and stress-related concerns. She attends to emotional reactions and practical barriers people meet when routines change. The work often includes looking at patterns, trying new ways of responding, and building habits that support daily functioning.
She names life purpose among the areas she helps people consider, especially during midlife or after major changes. That can include clarifying priorities, exploring career shifts, or handling the emotional impact of caregiving and aging issues. Sessions may include reflection on values alongside practical next steps.
Susan offers sessions in English and practices in Pennsylvania. Her LPC credential is used as the professional designation. Prospective clients complete an online matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session to begin.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions fit
She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful patterns and improving daily functioning. One commonly used approach looks at thoughts and behaviors together to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms by testing new responses and building small habits. Another approach emphasizes processing strong emotions after loss or trauma through repeated, focused conversations that help make those experiences easier to manage over time.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each client to identify which techniques suit their goals, needs, and preferences. This means adjusting pacing, trying different methods, and checking in about what is helpful as progress unfolds.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm which options are available before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a workday, or removing the need to be on camera for people who prefer phone conversations. Licensed professionals often use these practical benefits to help therapy slot into daily routines without asking for major schedule changes.
