About Susan
Susan Josephson is a Florida licensed mental health counselor, LMHC, with 25 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, and depression. She also addresses a wide range of related issues including grief, addiction, relationship and family matters, and blended family issues.
Her listening style is client-centered. She focuses on what the person brings to the session and adapts conversations to practical needs. Sessions are straightforward and conversational, with attention to immediate coping strategies when stress or anxiety is high.
Susan also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, to help people notice patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. CBT work involves setting small goals, trying new habits between sessions, and checking what helps. This approach is useful for anxiety, low mood, and some trauma-related symptoms.
Many people consult her about parenting strain, loyalty conflicts in blended households, and the stress of separating or reorganizing family roles. She can talk through communication problems, caregiver stress, and challenges that come with major life changes. Practical problem solving and clearer communication are often central to the work.
Her background includes long experience across community and clinical settings in Florida. Conversations focus on what matters now and on clear steps forward. To start, people use the site process to answer a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How her approaches work for online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening to what matters most to the person and shaping sessions around those priorities. In an online setting this looks like checking in about immediate concerns, asking what would help between sessions, and adjusting the pace to what the person finds useful.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thinking and try practical alternative actions. Online CBT often includes short exercises to try during the week, written notes or worksheets, and brief reviews in sessions to see what changed.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide whether client-centered talk, CBT techniques, or a mix is the best fit for current goals and daily routines. That decision is revisited as needs change.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because formats are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a workday, reduce travel time, or allow a shorter check-in when needed. Ask about the available session options when you sign up so timing and format match your schedule.
