About Susan
Susan Jordan-Kertzner is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, career uncertainty, parenting challenges, and ADHD. She brings 19 years of experience to conversations and aims to make therapy practical and approachable for everyday life. Susan keeps sessions warm and interactive.
She listens without judgment and works with each person to set clear, achievable goals. Sessions focus on habits, thinking patterns, and small changes that add up over time.
Background and approach
Her background blends several therapeutic ideas to match what a person needs. She uses cognitive-behavioral tools to change unhelpful thinking and acceptance-based ideas to manage hard feelings. Attachment-focused work is used when relationship patterns and early connections matter.
Susan also draws on mindfulness and emotion regulation skills to help with panic, overwhelm, and impulsivity. She supports people dealing with grief, trauma, life transitions, and questions about life purpose. Coaching-style work is offered for career shifts and goal-focused change.
Therapy with her emphasizes collaboration. Clients and Susan build a plan together and track small steps toward better daily functioning. The tone is respectful and practical, aiming for clearer coping, steadier mood, and more satisfying relationships.
Sessions are offered in English and Susan accepts clients from Colorado and internationally. She frames work around real-life needs so people can use what they learn between sessions.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Susan commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values. ACT is useful when someone wants to reduce avoidance and build a life that matters to them.She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This work helps people understand why they repeat certain relationship habits and how to shift toward more supported ways of relating.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Susan works collaboratively to match methods to a person’s goals, needs, and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan so the work stays practical and relevant.
Online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation across distances, phone sessions can be a lighter bandwidth option, and live chat or text-based messaging lets people check in between meetings or use shorter, focused exchanges. These options increase flexibility for people juggling work, caregiving, or irregular schedules.
