Susan Frey , LPC

Susan Frey is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 20 years of clinical experience who brought a previous career to a close after a sudden life disruption and redirected her professional path into counseling. She holds a master’s degree in counseling psychology from Seton Hall University and a Bachelor of Science from York College of Pennsylvania, and she applies that formal training to help people navigate difficult transitions and persistent concerns.

Susan has experience treating a wide range of issues including addictions, anxiety, depression, stress, grief, bipolar disorder, anger management, eating concerns, relationship difficulties, and challenges related to ADHD and coping with life changes. She also works with aging and geriatric issues, issues around commitment and communication, divorce and separation, substance and process addictions, infidelity and jealousy, guilt and shame, panic disorder, and concerns affecting visually impaired clients.

Her practice is grounded in practical, goal-oriented care. She relies on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) most often, and when appropriate she integrates short-term solution-focused techniques or Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to match each person’s needs. Across approaches she prioritizes helping clients identify realistic goals and develop skills that lead to a more satisfying, fulfilling life, working collaboratively to support meaningful change.

Approaches and Online Care with Susan Frey

Susan Frey uses evidence-informed approaches tailored to each person's goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behavior patterns and building practical skills to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, anger, and other concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify personal values, increase psychological flexibility, and take meaningful action even when difficult emotions are present. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) offers a way to explore and shift emotional responses in relationships, making it useful for couples work and attachment-related difficulties.

Choosing the right approach 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 unfolds so the work feels relevant and achievable.

Online therapy with Susan includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase accessibility and convenience. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reach support from different locations, and maintain continuity of care when schedules or circumstances change. Licensed professionals and therapists can deliver effective, focused treatment through these remote formats while working with clients toward measurable goals.
