Susan Hull, LISW

Susan Hull is a licensed independent social worker (LISW) in Ohio who uses practical, person-focused therapy to help people through hard times. She draws on clear, straightforward methods to address stress, anxiety, depression, and grief. Her style is calm and direct so conversations stay focused and useful.

Susan spends sessions helping people understand how their past relationships and life events affect them now. She pays attention to attachment patterns and how they show up in close relationships. She also helps people notice thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, and then practice small changes that make daily life easier.

Clients come for many reasons, including mood concerns, panic, addiction, and complicated grief. She has experience supporting people who face caregiver strain, cancer or hospice issues, and the stresses that can affect first responders and veterans. She works with people dealing with shame, guilt, codependency, and communication problems.

Susan uses a mix of approaches that include attachment-based work, client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical skills, and mindfulness practices. Sessions focus on skills you can use between meetings along with exploring deeper patterns that shape feelings and choices.

With 17 years in practice, Susan aims to be a steady presence rather than offering quick fixes. She helps people set realistic goals and build coping tools they can rely on when life gets hard.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Susan uses attachment-based ideas to help people see how early relationships shape current reactions. That work focuses on patterns in close relationships and how to build more reliable ways of connecting. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people identify thoughts and behaviors that worsen mood or anxiety, then experiment with small, practical changes to feel and function better.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they adjust methods over time so sessions stay relevant and helpful.

Confirm the available session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week and reduces the need to travel. It also lets people use a range of tools in session such as guided breathing, thought records, or role-play exercises that translate well to remote meetings. Many clients find that short, focused check-ins or regular weekly sessions help maintain progress between in-person visits or during life transitions.
