About Susan
Susan Henry is an Iowa Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) and a Nevada Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 25 years of clinical experience. She practices from Minnesota and works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and grief. Her work also covers concerns like addictions, sleep and eating difficulties, ADHD, and blended family issues.
Susan uses practical methods to help people manage overwhelming emotions. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. She also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and build actions that match those values.
Her style is straightforward and focused on problem-solving. Sessions often include skill-building for handling conflict, improving communication, and managing strong feelings. She also addresses patterns rooted in attachment so people understand repeated reactions in relationships.
Susan supports people dealing with major life transitions and ongoing stress. That can include loss, career change, caregiving strain, or the particular tensions of a blended household. Her approach aims to make next steps clearer and more doable.
She uses a mix of client-centered listening and evidence-based strategies. That means clients get time to talk and space to set goals, plus concrete practices to try between sessions. To begin, readers should confirm current session options before booking.
How specific approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small steps that reflect those values. It helps when someone feels stuck by offering simple behavioral experiments and mindfulness exercises to reduce avoidance and increase meaningful action.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. In sessions clients learn practical strategies to challenge unhelpful thoughts and test alternative behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood over time.
Susan also uses attachment-based ideas to help people recognize relationship patterns that repeat across different partners or household roles. Understanding those patterns can make it easier to change how someone approaches conflict and closeness.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice can shift as needs change, so plans are reviewed together.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking, since the profile does not list them. Online options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Discussing scheduling and session length at the first meeting helps make therapy practical for everyday life.
