About Ariel

Ariel Susman, LPC, LMHC, is a licensed mental health counselor practicing in New Jersey and New York with four years of professional experience. LPC stands for Licensed Professional Counselor and LMHC stands for Licensed Mental Health Counselor - both indicate formal training and state licensure to provide mental health services. She has supported people facing stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, motivation and self-esteem concerns, and other life barriers that can interfere with daily functioning.

Ariel emphasizes respectful, sensitive, and compassionate care, and she adapts conversations and treatment plans to reflect each person's unique situation and goals. She frames therapy as a collaborative process, working alongside clients to identify practical strategies and build confidence over time. Taking an initial step toward greater fulfillment and well-being can feel challenging, and Ariel offers steady professional support throughout that process.

Her approach centers on evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to the client, with an aim of helping individuals develop coping skills, restore balance, and move toward meaningful change.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Support

Ariel uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and symptom management. One common approach emphasizes skill-building and coping strategies to manage stress, anxiety, and mood difficulties - teaching concrete tools people can use between sessions to improve day-to-day functioning. Another approach is trauma-informed care, which centers safety, pacing, and understanding how past experiences affect present thoughts, feelings, and relationships; this helps people process difficult experiences while reducing reactivity and overwhelm.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative work Ariel does with each client. She listens to individual needs, goals, and preferences, and then tailors techniques to find the best fit, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Ariel is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to access consistent support from a licensed professional without requiring travel, and they allow therapy to fit into a client's life in a more accessible way.
