More about Susanna
- 11 years' experience
- Female
- LMHC
I'm a therapist with 11 years of experience supporting individuals through some of life's most challenging moments. I work with clients navigating depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, bipolar disorder, and major life transitions. My approach is grounded in understanding how these experiences shape your relationships, sense of self, and daily life.
I specialize in helping clients address communication difficulties, social anxiety, panic, attachment concerns, and feelings of isolation or abandonment. I also support caregivers managing the unique stress that comes with their role, and I work with individuals facing workplace challenges or struggling with impulsivity and mood fluctuations.
My therapeutic style is collaborative and compassionate. I believe in meeting you where you are and working together to build greater self-compassion, resilience, and meaningful connection. Whether you're processing trauma, navigating relationship patterns, or learning to manage difficult emotions, I'm here to provide steady, nonjudgmental support as you move toward healing and growth.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
