About Susan
Susan Jacobsen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 28 years of clinical experience. She concentrates on trauma, grief, and parenting concerns, and she brings a calm, plainspoken style to sessions. She uses creative tools and mindfulness to help people connect with difficult feelings.
Her work often focuses on pregnancy-related loss, miscarriage, infant loss, and fertility challenges. She draws on both personal and professional experience when supporting people through these kinds of grief.
Background and approach
Clients may also bring anxiety, depression, relationship strain, or work-related burnout for discussion. Susan blends client-centered listening with mindfulness practice to help people notice what matters most. She also incorporates Jungian and psychodynamic ideas to make sense of recurring patterns.
When trauma is part of the story, she uses trauma-focused methods to prioritize safety and pacing. Art-making is part of her toolkit. Using simple art materials can help people reach emotions that are hard to say in words.
Sessions may include drawing, collage, or guided imagery alongside talking. She enjoys outdoor activities with her family, including hiking, boating, camping, paddleboarding, yoga, and volleyball. Those personal interests inform her sense of balance and resilience, which she brings into clinical work.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Client-centered work focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship so people feel heard and understood. It is helpful for stress, anxiety, grief, parenting questions, and figuring out next steps in life.Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment skills such as focused breathing and body noticing. These techniques can reduce overwhelm, help manage anxiety, and make intense feelings easier to sit with during grief or trauma work.
Trauma-focused therapy emphasizes careful pacing and stabilizing skills before processing hard memories. It is used when past events affect someone's daily life and helps create step-by-step ways to cope and regain control.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences, and any past therapy experiences to decide what feels like the best fit. Plans can shift over time as needs change and progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Video calls work well for longer weekly work and face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text are useful for brief check-ins, homework support, or when typing is easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to keep continuity of care across busy days and changing circumstances.
