About Susan
Susan earned a master’s degree in counseling psychology from the University of Kansas and has worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings. She now sees clients in an outpatient private practice setting in Kansas. Her background includes many years helping people manage anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, depression, and adjustment during life changes.
Susan uses a cognitive behavioral approach, pairing thought-focused work with attention to how body and behavior interact. Sessions tend to be goal-oriented and practical, with tools people can try between meetings. She also addresses relationship concerns, parenting questions, sleep difficulties, anger, and intimacy-related issues.
Additional interests include support around pregnancy and childbirth, fertility concerns, midlife and aging issues, cancer-related challenges, seasonal mood changes, and women’s health topics. These areas are woven into talking and planning rather than framed as medical treatment.
The tone of her work is nonjudgmental and relaxed. Susan aims to make the first steps less awkward and to build a working partnership that focuses on clear, achievable goals. She encourages straightforward talk and usable strategies rather than long theoretical explanations.
How Susan Uses CBT Online and What to Expect
Susan primarily practices cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT breaks problems into manageable pieces and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and adjustment to life changes.Her approach also pays attention to how the body and behavior interact, helping people notice patterns in sleep, activity, and physical response that affect mood. That viewpoint supports goals such as improving sleep, managing anger, or handling transitions like pregnancy and childbirth in day-to-day life.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will work with each person to choose techniques that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. Together they set clear, achievable objectives and adjust methods as progress is tracked.
Session format details were not specified in the original biography, so confirm the available options when booking. In general online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare, or health appointments, and it may reduce travel time. It also lets people pick styles of check-ins that suit them, whether that means shorter live conversations or more written check-ins, depending on what the therapist and client agree will work best.
