About Susan
Susan Henry is a licensed social worker with 25 years of counseling experience. She uses a warm, person-centered style to help people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma, and life transitions. Her practice emphasizes respect and affirmation for diverse identities, including LGBT clients.
She focuses on practical skills and emotional understanding. Sessions often include mindfulness practice, learning new ways to manage strong feelings, and building clearer communication. She helps people notice patterns that cause pain and then try small, doable changes.
Her background includes long-term work with grief, addiction, compassion fatigue, and parenting concerns. She has also supported people with ADHD, bipolar disorder, chronic health challenges, and body image struggles. That variety informs flexible, realistic plans that fit each person's life.
Susan combines acceptance-based approaches with cognitive methods and attachment-focused thinking. She centers the person in the room and follows each client's pace while offering tools they can use between sessions. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.
People who prefer calm, steady guidance and clear, actionable steps tend to do well with her. To begin, readers should use the site Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to therapist availability.
How her approaches translate to online work
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple present-moment practices to help quiet racing thoughts and reduce reactivity, which can be useful for anxiety, stress, and emotion regulation. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small, values-driven steps while learning to accept uncomfortable feelings, often helping with life transitions and motivation. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current bonds and communication, which can help when relationship trust or connection feels shaky.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each client to pick methods that match their goals and preferences. That means trying a few techniques and adjusting the plan as progress is made, keeping client input central to decisions.
Confirm current online session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules demand it. It also lets clients practice mindfulness or communication skills in the context of their everyday environment, then bring notes back to the session for reflection.
