Background and approach

She pairs this with many years of parenting and long-term personal recovery experience. In sessions she listens first, then offers clear options for moving forward. Techniques come from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral approaches, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and narrative methods.

These are used to reduce symptoms, build coping skills, and help people tell and reframe difficult parts of their story. Sus often supports people dealing with moral injury, compassion fatigue, and the strain of caregiving or cancer diagnosis. She also works with those navigating LGBTQ concerns, gender dysphoria, and immigration-related stress.

Her practice includes work with addiction, bipolar disorder, depression, and relationship or family-of-origin issues. Sessions are available in English and Danish and can be scheduled online. She has 37 years of clinical experience and holds a Florida LCSW.

Getting started involves a brief matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that fits the person's routine.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and building the session around what matters most to the person. It helps people feel heard and guides choices about goals and pacing in online sessions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and impulsivity. It often includes simple exercises that can be done between appointments and discussed over video or messaging.

Mindfulness approaches teach attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation. These techniques are well suited to short exercises during phone or video visits and to daily practice supported by text reminders.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what has helped in the past, then try methods that match those needs. Plans are adjusted over time based on what is useful.

Online sessions offer practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls recreate face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat fits short check-ins, and text-based messaging lets people share between appointments. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or travel.
