Susan uses cognitive behavioral approaches in individual and group work.

Over her career she has combined clinical practice with roles in student affairs and program leadership, which informs how she structures treatment and coordinates care when needed.
Sessions typically involve setting clear goals, identifying unhelpful thinking, and trying small behavioral changes between meetings. Susan also leads group work and has experience with suicide prevention training and postvention support. She brings experience working with adults who are navigating life transitions and questions about purpose.
Outside of work she enjoys travel, cooking, and time with her husband, teenage daughter, and their two dogs. Her approach reflects long-term experience in both clinical and educational settings, and a focus on practical steps people can take to manage symptoms and consider what matters next.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online sessions
Susan's work centers on cognitive behavioral approaches that look at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT involves noticing patterns of thinking, testing them against reality, and trying small behavioral experiments to reduce distress and improve functioning; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management.She also brings experience in crisis intervention and suicide prevention education. These methods focus on immediate safety planning, recognizing warning signs, and practical steps to reduce risk while arranging follow-up supports. They are used when someone is in acute distress or needs structured guidance after a crisis.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify which techniques fit the client's goals, symptoms, and daily life. Sessions can shift over time as needs and priorities change, with periodic check-ins about what is helping.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online care can make it easier to fit meetings into workdays, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let someone continue work with a licensed professional while making changes to routines or commitments without traveling to an office.
