More about Susann

  • 25 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW-C

I am a Licensed Certified Social Worker-Clinical (LCSW-C) to practice in Maryland with 25 years of professional work experience. I am a Veteran and have worked with Veterans, individuals, groups, families, and teens. I also have experience in the legal system as a treatment provider. My expertise is with helping clients cope with addictions and substance use; PTSD, trauma and abuse; stress, anxiety, & depression. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. I also like to meet the client where they are at in their life and treatment will be centered on your goals. This can mean still using substances while working on your addiction goals ie: abstinence is not required; or being anxious and needing short therapy sessions to start. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!

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.
