Dr. Susie Stubbs, LCPC

Dr. Susie Stubbs bases her work on a collaborative, client-centered approach. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and focuses on practical change. She supports people through career struggles, life transitions, relationship concerns, stress, anxiety, and addictive patterns.

Her practice also addresses grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related worries, and challenges with eating and sleeping. She offers help for parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, and mood conditions such as depression and bipolar. Compassion fatigue and ADHD are additional areas she notices in her work.

With 15 years of professional experience, she draws on both client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral techniques. That means sessions aim to make sense of current struggles and try manageable steps to change day-to-day patterns. Conversations are practical and focused on what the client wants to accomplish.

Her background includes work in Maryland, where she holds an LCPC credential. She speaks English and works with referral and scheduling processes used by the practice. The first meeting typically looks at priorities and immediate concerns to set short-term goals.

Taking the first step can feel hard. She offers steady guidance while helping clients discover strengths they already have. People who want help sorting decisions, reducing stress, or improving relationships often begin by clarifying one or two achievable goals.

How client-centered and CBT methods work online

Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person's own goals and perspective. It emphasizes listening, empathy, and helping people name what matters most so they can move forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and focuses on small experiments to change daily routines and mood.

Deciding which approach to use is a team effort. The therapist will work with each person to try approaches that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean starting with open conversation and then adding CBT-style exercises if those seem useful.

The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, cut down on travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people stay consistent during life changes and use techniques in the settings where they live and work. Licensed professionals adapt their methods so therapy feels practical and relevant to everyday life.
