These tools are used flexibly to match what someone needs that day, whether that is managing anxiety, improving communication, or handling major life transitions.

She has particular experience with adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, blended family challenges, and caregiver stress. Susan also helps people dealing with codependency, commitment and control issues, body image concerns, and the impacts of trauma or disaster.

Susan works in English and practices in Georgia. Her style is practical and supportive, aimed at helping people build skills they can use between sessions. She encourages callers to take the first step and complete the intake so they can begin working toward clearer goals.

How her approaches guide online therapy

Susan uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters most and take small steps toward those values. ACT often helps with anxiety and stress by teaching practical ways to move forward despite difficult thoughts or feelings.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach can help people understand relationship struggles, communication problems, and attachment concerns in a clear, relatable way.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Susan will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. That choice is revisited as progress is made so therapy stays relevant and useful.

The profile does not list specific online session formats. Please confirm the available formats before booking so you know how sessions will be delivered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week and to have follow-ups without long travel. It can also allow for shorter check-ins or sessions that work around work and family schedules, depending on what is offered.
