About Susan

Susan Sullivan is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 11 years of experience providing both individual and group therapy. She works with people facing a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, addiction, abuse, relationship and family problems, grief and loss, compassion fatigue, stress, trauma, parenting challenges, career issues, and intimacy-related difficulties. Her practice also supports those coping with life transitions and those seeking coaching to meet personal goals.

Susan favors a client-centered approach, making a consistent effort to meet each person where they are in the process of self-exploration. She draws on evidence-based methods to tailor treatment, incorporating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), solution-focused techniques, mindfulness therapy, narrative therapy, motivational interviewing, and psychoeducation as appropriate. This mix of approaches helps address immediate concerns while building longer-term skills for coping and growth.

Sessions are conducted as collaborative work, with the client recognized as the expert of their own story. Susan aims to create a genuine, respectful therapeutic relationship in which treatment plans are developed together and tailored to each clientâs needs and experiences. Her humanistic orientation supports clients in clarifying goals, navigating difficult life issues, and finding renewed perspective.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a collaborative relationship in which the therapist listens attentively and supports the clientâs own insight and growth. It is helpful for people seeking understanding, validation, and a safe space to explore personal challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying and shifting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors; it is widely used for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with difficult life situations. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and practical strategies to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation, which can be beneficial for stress, grief, and trauma-related symptoms.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Susan Sullivan works collaboratively with each person to determine which combination of techniques best matches their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps ensure therapy feels relevant and effective for the individual.

Online therapy offers flexible options for receiving care, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access support from a distance while working with licensed professionals and therapists who tailor their methods to each client's situation.
