About Susan
Susan Stever is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Utah who helps people facing stress, anxiety, mood struggles, and life transitions. She works with clients dealing with relationship strain, addiction concerns, trauma or abuse, grief, ADHD-related challenges, and career or parenting stress. Her manner is warm and nonjudgmental, aiming to make talking about hard things feel straightforward and respectful.
Susan draws on practical methods like cognitive behavioral strategies and mindfulness to help people manage symptoms day to day.
Background and approach
She also uses acceptance-based ideas to help people make room for difficult thoughts and feelings while pursuing what matters to them. Sessions focus on clear skills, real-life practice, and small changes that add up. Her background includes five years of clinical practice and work with incarcerated populations, where she supported people through major transitions and behavior change.
That experience shaped a direct, reflective style that looks at patterns and choices without shaming the person. Sessions are tailored to each person’s needs and preferences. Conversations may include problem-solving, values clarification, and emotion regulation exercises.
The emphasis is on building skills people can use between sessions to improve daily functioning. Susan offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. She communicates in English and works from Utah as an LCSW.
How these approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take action toward those values even when uncomfortable feelings are present. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and life changes where motivation and meaning matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) uses clear, structured exercises to spot unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going, which helps with anxiety, depression, and some attention-related struggles. Mindfulness Therapy involves simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus and mood.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that fit their goals and daily life. Sessions are a joint process of trying things, checking what helps, and adapting the plan over time.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice; phone sessions work when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions, do short problem-solving, or keep momentum during busy days. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, or school schedules while using the approaches described above.
