About Susan
Susan Toth is a licensed social worker in South Carolina who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and parenting concerns. She draws on 16 years of experience to support people dealing with trauma, grief, sleep problems, addiction, and career or life changes. Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth.
She listens first, then works with each person to set clear, realistic goals. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use between meetings to reduce symptoms and improve daily routines.
Background and approach
Susan blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral strategies and mindfulness tools. That means she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, gently test new behaviors, and build skills for calmer responses. She also uses solution-focused techniques to identify small changes that produce quick relief.
She often helps people manage caregiver stress, attachment questions, communication problems, and codependency patterns. She also addresses more specific issues such as divorce and separation, domestic violence, fertility concerns, and substance use problems when those topics come up in therapy. Susan holds the LISW-CP credential, which indicates licensure as an independent social worker with clinical practice privileges in South Carolina.
She offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs.

Evidence-informed approaches for online care
Susan commonly uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy in online sessions. Client-centered work focuses on listening carefully and building a trusting, collaborative relationship so people feel heard and can choose goals that matter to them. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new actions to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress-related behaviors.She may also draw on mindfulness practices to help with sleep, emotional regulation, and grounding after difficult experiences. The therapist and client figure out which tools fit best together by talking about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped in the past. That collaborative approach makes it easier to adjust techniques as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited or a quieter setting is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for shorter check-ins, progress updates, or when typing feels easier. These options make therapy more flexible and help people fit support into busy schedules.
