About Susan

Susan Bramer is a Florida-based licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with two decades of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, navigate career questions, and cope with grief and loss. Her tone is steady and practical, aimed at people who want clear steps forward.

Susan views each person as the expert on their own life. She listens for strengths and patterns, then works with clients to build on what already helps. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with attention to everyday problems and choices.

Clients commonly come for help with family tensions, communication breakdowns, and difficult transitions such as divorce or caregiving roles. Susan also supports people dealing with chronic illness, aging concerns, and the loneliness that can come with life changes. She addresses emotions like guilt, shame, and grief in straightforward ways.

The approach draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Susan uses this method to create practical tools for stress, worry, and low mood. She pairs skills practice with problem-solving to make change feel doable.

Sessions are meant to fit into a busy life and focus on what matters most to each person. Susan encourages small, consistent steps and checks progress as goals change. People who want calm, clear guidance and a partner in decision making may find her style a good fit.

How CBT and practical therapy work online

Susan uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps people spot patterns of thought that fuel anxiety or low mood and try new, manageable behaviors. CBT focuses on small experiments and skills you can practice between sessions to reduce worry and improve day-to-day functioning.

Her work is collaborative. She treats finding the right approach as something to figure out together. Goals, personal preferences, and life demands guide what methods she emphasizes, and adjustments are made as progress is tracked.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule and can reduce travel time. It also allows for shorter check-ins when a quick update is needed and makes it simpler to work on skills in the context of daily life. Licensed professionals can help adapt CBT exercises for remote work and suggest practical homework that fits a person’s routine.
