About Susan

Susan Wilson is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 24 years of clinical experience in Florida. She has practiced in multiple settings and now offers telehealth services to people facing everyday challenges. Her approach treats therapy as a partnership where the client leads and the clinician helps navigate the path forward.

Susan focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, self-esteem, depression, and ADHD. She also works with concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, aging and geriatric issues, blended family stress, body image, cancer-related distress, caregiver strain, chronic illness and disability, and communication and commitment problems. These areas often overlap, and she helps people sort through them one step at a time.

In sessions she aims to build practical skills and expand each client’s coping toolbox. She adapts techniques to match where a person is right now, using evidence-based therapeutic techniques as appropriate. The tone is collaborative and straightforward, with an emphasis on clear steps and everyday language.

Susan tailors her work to individual goals rather than offering a fixed program. She supports people who want to reduce symptoms, improve relationships, or manage life transitions. Her long experience across settings informs a flexible, pragmatic style.

To begin, she asks clients to pick the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule sessions based on availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

Step 3

How evidence-based approaches translate to online therapy

Online work with this clinician draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to practical problems. One common direction is skill-building work that teaches specific strategies for managing anxiety and stress, such as breath regulation, activity planning, and stepwise coping plans. This helps when worry or overwhelm gets in the way of daily life.

Another emphasis is relationship-focused problem solving that looks at communication patterns and decision-making. That kind of work breaks down difficult conversations into manageable steps and practices, which can reduce tension and improve connection over time.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust techniques based on what is helpful. The fit between approach and need is checked regularly rather than assumed up front.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into busy schedules and keeping regular contact without travel. Because the biography does not list specific session formats beyond telehealth, confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to schedule around work and caregiving, or better for shorter focused check-ins when life gets hectic.
