About Susan

She also supports people facing relationship strain, parenting challenges, sleep difficulties, grief, and career transitions.

Susan uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, often called CBT, to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different actions. She combines that with attention to mind-body connections so physical habits and mental patterns are addressed together. Sessions are aimed at concrete skills and small steps that can make daily life easier.
Susan has worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings and now sees clients in a private practice environment in Kansas. Her background includes a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from the University of Kansas and extensive clinical work across many settings.
People who want straightforward, skills-based counseling tend to fit well with her approach. She helps clients set clear goals, practice new behaviors, and track progress over time. Those unsure where to begin are invited to reach out and discuss what would help most.

How Cognitive Behavioral Work Fits into Online Care
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people notice thoughts that lead to unhelpful feelings and behavior. It involves identifying those thought patterns and practicing different, more helpful responses to reduce stress and anxiety and improve mood.Susan also brings a mind-body viewpoint to sessions, looking at how routines, sleep, and physical habits interact with emotions. That approach helps with problems like sleep difficulties, stress-related symptoms, and low energy by pairing cognitive work with practical habit changes.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjust strategies over time based on what helps most.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and reducing travel time so counseling can more easily become part of a weekly routine. Online care can make it simpler to have brief check-ins or to schedule appointments around work and family commitments. Confirm the specific session options available before booking so the format matches your needs.
