About Susan

Susan Scott is a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on practical, person-centered work. She aims to make conversations useful and down-to-earth so parents can find clearer ways forward. She uses a client-centered stance to create a respectful space where people can talk about what matters most.

That approach helps people feel heard and decide what changes they want to try. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thinking and build different habits around parenting, relationships, and mood.

Background and approach

Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are offered when strong emotions or impulsive reactions get in the way of daily life. These skills teach ways to tolerate stress, manage anger, and handle intense moments with less damage. Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas support people who want to improve closeness and repair trust in important relationships.

Susan has 13 years of clinical experience working with relationship and family concerns, parenting stress, self-esteem, depression, anger, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses attachment issues, blended family challenges, caregiver stress, communication problems, and separation or divorce concerns. Sessions are practical and goal-minded.

Conversations focus on what to try between sessions and how to track small changes. Her approach combines listening with concrete strategies so parents can make clear steps toward calmer days.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches that translate well to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people feel understood and can name what they want to change. Online sessions let those conversations happen from wherever a person is, making it easier to fit talking into a busy week. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors with clear exercises and homework. It works well in video or phone sessions because worksheets, thought records, and behavioral plans can be shared and reviewed together. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers specific skills for managing strong emotions, distress tolerance, and improving communication. These practical skills can be taught and practiced in shorter chat check-ins or through video demonstrations.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Susan will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals and daily life. That means deciding together whether to focus on skill-building, changing thought patterns, or repairing relationship patterns, and adjusting the plan as progress is seen.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions are useful for in-depth conversations and skill coaching. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth. Live chat or text messaging work for brief check-ins, skill reminders, and steady support between longer sessions. These options help people keep therapy consistent around family schedules and busy days.
