More about Susan

  • 35 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW-R

I am a licensed clinical social worker licensed in New Yotk with over 30 years of experience working as a psychotherapist and life coach. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD, and pandemic issues. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.

My therapy style is supportive and caring. I believe in treating people as unique individuals with attention, respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and rational-emotive therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

It takes courage to seek a more balanced, abundant and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
