About Susan
Dr. Susan Lieberman uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people manage stress and parenting challenges. She is a psychologist licensed in Kansas and brings 24 years of clinical experience to her work.
Her style is direct and warm and focused on useful skills parents can try between sessions. She helps people facing anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, and problems with anger or addictions. Parenting is a named focus, and she supports parents dealing with sleep disruption, intimacy concerns, grief, and caregiver strain.
Background and approach
She also addresses issues tied to adoption and foster care, attachment concerns, and blended family dynamics. Her methods draw from approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and attachment-based work. Sessions typically include practical exercises, behavior plans, and conversations that aim to make daily life easier.
Clients are invited to set clear goals and to test small changes between meetings. Dr. Lieberman has long experience working with people managing chronic illness, pain, or complicated medical situations alongside mental health concerns.
She also addresses workplace stress, career transitions, and compassion fatigue for caregivers and professionals. People meet her for straightforward guidance about communication problems, codependency, and building more stable routines. She emphasizes learning tools for emotion regulation and building stronger relationships with oneself and others.

Online approaches that fit parenting and life stress
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings and to choose actions that reflect their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and getting unstuck when parenting or life changes feel overwhelming. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connection patterns affect current relationships and parenting. It helps people notice interaction patterns and practice new ways of relating that can calm conflict and build trust.Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they decide whether to emphasize skill-based work like cognitive behavioral strategies, values-based ACT work, or attachment-focused conversation in sessions.
Online formats allow flexibility to fit therapy into busy schedules. Video calls support full conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging can serve as shorter check-ins, homework support, or a way to process between longer sessions. These options make it easier to maintain continuity while juggling parenting demands and work.
