About Susan

Susan Dice is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with four years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, motivation, and low self-esteem. Susan emphasizes small, practical steps rather than big, abstract promises.

She views each person as the expert in their own life and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions emphasize clear goals and straightforward strategies. The work is about finding what fits the client's daily life and what helps them feel steadier.

Background and approach

Susan supports people facing life changes, grief, compassion fatigue, and challenges with relationships or intimacy. She also helps with career concerns, parenting challenges, and coping with addiction-related issues. Conversations focus on manageable changes that can improve day-to-day functioning.

Her style is calm and practical. She offers encouragement and concrete tools, and she pays attention to what matters most to each client. Susan helps people sort priorities, set small goals, and try new ways of responding to stress.

Sessions are offered in English and can occur through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. The process begins with a brief matching questionnaire so clients and therapist can find a good fit and plan next steps.

Practical approaches and online care

Many therapists use evidence-based techniques that focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and on building new coping habits. Cognitive-style methods help people notice and reframe negative thoughts that feed anxiety or low self-esteem, and then practice more balanced thinking in daily life. Behavioral strategies emphasize small, doable actions to reduce avoidance, increase motivation, and improve mood.

Another helpful approach focuses on skills for managing stress and strong emotions. This includes learning breath- or attention-based exercises, planning short breaks, and using step-by-step problem solving to handle overwhelming tasks. These skills suit people dealing with burnout, compassion fatigue, or the stress of parenting and work changes.

Deciding which approach to use is a team effort. The therapist will ask about goals, daily routines, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will try methods that match the client’s needs and adjust the plan if something isn’t working.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let people speak face-to-face from wherever they are. Phone sessions work when video isn’t possible or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, brief problem solving, or when someone prefers writing to talking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into parenting schedules, work breaks, and other obligations.
