Susan Dice , LMSW

Susan Dice is a Michigan-licensed clinician with four years of professional experience who holds an LMSW (Licensed Master Social Worker). She brings practical support and steady guidance to people navigating periods of stress and transition.

Susan focuses on areas such as stress and anxiety, motivation, self-esteem and confidence, and coping with life changes. Her work centers on helping clients identify strengths and build on the resources they already have to manage day-to-day challenges and pursue meaningful change.

She views each person as the expert of their own story and helps them connect with the strengths that will support progress. Recognizing that seeking a more fulfilling and happier life requires courage, Susan offers empathetic support and partnership through the early steps and beyond.

Her approach is collaborative and respectful, aimed at helping clients gain clarity, increase motivation, and develop practical strategies for moving forward.

Evidence-Based Support for Stress, Motivation, and Change

Susan uses practical, evidence-based techniques that translate well to remote work. One approach emphasizes skills-based strategies for managing stress and anxiety - teaching breathing, grounding, and short-term coping tools that help reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning. Another approach is strengths-focused and client-centered, helping people identify existing resources, build self-esteem, and increase motivation for change by setting realistic goals and celebrating progress. A third emphasis involves motivational techniques to support change - exploring values, enhancing commitment, and breaking large goals into manageable steps to sustain momentum.

Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the therapeutic process. Susan collaborates with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made and circumstances shift.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging. This range of options makes it easier to access consistent support around busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, and mobility constraints, while allowing licensed professionals and therapists to tailor contact to what works best for each person.
