About Susana
Susana (Susie) Hernandez is a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on helping adults and teens manage stressful life moments. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, parenting challenges, and major life changes. Susie writes plainly and keeps sessions practical so parents can use what they learn quickly.
Susie centers the relationship between client and counselor as the starting point for change. She aims to build trust first so people feel seen and able to try new ways of coping.
Background and approach
That emphasis often leads to clearer communication and stronger connections at home. Her work draws on several approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas, and cognitive behavioral techniques. These methods are used to help clients notice difficult thoughts, try small behavior changes, and strengthen how they relate to others.
She also brings client-centered and dialectical skills into sessions to match each person's pace. Susie has five years of experience and holds the LPC credential, licensed in Texas. She invites people to include their faith or spiritual beliefs in counseling when that matters to them.
This can make coping strategies feel more meaningful and relevant to daily life. Outside of work she spends time with family, exercises, and cooks. Those everyday interests shape her down-to-earth style and focus on practical steps parents can take between sessions.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice and accept difficult thoughts while taking actions that match their values; it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and parenting decisions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and helps people build safer, more stable connections with loved ones. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers concrete tools for managing low mood, worry, and unhelpful habits.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Susie collaborates with each person to identify goals and preferences, then blends methods that fit their situation. That means sessions may include values-based exercises, attachment-focused conversations, or practical CBT skills depending on what the client needs.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy families. Video calls let people read facial expressions and have longer sessions, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or someone prefers not to use video, and live chat or text-based messaging supports brief check-ins or ongoing skills practice between appointments. These options make it easier to fit counseling into a weeknight, a lunch break, or while traveling, while keeping the focus on progress and real-life application.
