About Susan
Susan Nimrod is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) based in Kansas with three decades of counseling experience. She focuses on making the first steps into therapy less awkward and more practical. Her approach is down-to-earth and goal-oriented.
Parents looking for help with everyday parenting challenges will find a direct, practical focus. Susan keeps sessions relaxed and non-judgmental. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact.
Background and approach
She blends that with attention to physical wellbeing and life context. In conversation she helps people notice patterns, try small changes, and track what helps. Typical concerns she addresses include stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, sleep, anger, relationship friction, grief, and parenting questions.
She also supports people facing fertility and pregnancy challenges, cancer-related worries, aging issues, and seasonal mood shifts. Sessions can cover immediate coping skills and longer-term behavior changes. Susan's background includes work in both inpatient and outpatient settings and a master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from the University of Kansas.
She now offers outpatient care in independent practice and brings practical tools developed over many years. Her style is steady and calm, with clear steps people can try between sessions. Parents who want straightforward guidance on managing stress, setting limits, improving sleep, or handling relationship and parenting pressures may find her approach useful.
She invites clients to focus on real-world changes rather than jargon. Progress is measured by what improves in daily life.

Approaches Susan lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist names and does not check training records.
How CBT and online sessions work together
Susan uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a core approach, which looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect emotions. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, testing them with small experiments, and practicing new coping skills that can reduce anxiety, lift mood, and improve sleep.The therapist treats choice of method as a collaborative process. She will work with each client to pick approaches that match their goals and daily life. That means checking what helps, adjusting strategies, and combining skill practice with discussion about real situations like parenting challenges or work stress.
Online formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video lets people work face-to-face when visual cues help. Phone sessions offer a simpler connection with lower bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging provide quick check-ins and short exercises between sessions. These options support continuity, flexible scheduling, and different ways to practice CBT skills in everyday moments.
