About Susan
Dr. Susan Lieberman is a licensed psychologist in Kansas who uses practical, evidence-based approaches to help people manage stress, mood problems, and ADHD-related concerns. She brings 24 years of clinical experience and focuses on clear, usable skills rather than jargon.
Sessions aim to help clients feel steadier and more able to cope with everyday demands. Her work combines several approaches to match each person's needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thinking and change unhelpful behavior.
Background and approach
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values and take committed action even when emotions are hard. Attachment-Based ideas are used when early relationship patterns affect current stress and trust. Dr.
Lieberman commonly helps with anxiety, depression, bipolar mood patterns, anger, grief, addiction, and problems with sleep or self-esteem. She also addresses career strain, caregiver stress, and challenges tied to chronic illness. ADHD appears among the concerns she supports, and she works to make symptoms easier to manage in day-to-day life.
Her style is direct and empathetic. She offers concrete tools, coaching-style guidance, and space to talk through difficult experiences. Many clients seek help with communication problems, codependency, abandonment wounds, or life transitions.
Dr. Lieberman provides therapy in English and operates from Kansas under the credential KS Psychologist LP 1071. She blends short-term problem-solving with longer-term work when needed, tailoring pace and goals to each person.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while taking action toward what matters to them. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and the everyday struggles that come with ADHD symptoms. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify thinking patterns and behaviors that keep problems going, then practices concrete changes to reduce symptoms and improve routine functioning.Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. Dr. Lieberman works collaboratively to figure out which methods fit a person's goals, needs, and preferences. She may combine parts of ACT and CBT or use attachment-informed ideas when relationship patterns matter, and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video works well for step-by-step skill teaching and role-playing. Phone sessions can be a good shorter check-in when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging can help maintain momentum between sessions and suit people who prefer writing to talking.
