More about Susan
- 28 years' experience
- Female
- LICSW
I am a licensed, independent, clinical social worker with more than 25 years of experience working with people in mostly out patient settings. I am trained in many different modalities, and enjoy tailoring a treatment approach that best matches the individual person I am seeing. That being said, I guess if I had to choose an over-arching treatment approach, I would say I am client centered. I am also body centered, meaning that I believe the body carries our wounds and is a great source of information and potential healing. And I use expressive arts in my work with some clients, exploring issues through music, art, movement and play. I have a master's degree in social work as well as a master's in feminist counseling and have taken many graduate courses in expressive therapies. I have been a foster parent and adoptive parent and have a great deal of experience, personally and professionally, working with attachment issues and early childhood trauma.

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.
