Susan Blanchard, LCPC, LPC

Susan Blanchard is a licensed counselor who brings a practical, down-to-earth approach to therapy. She holds LCPC and LPC credentials and has four years of clinical experience. Susan focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety alongside other life challenges. She aims to create a respectful and compassionate space for people to talk through what’s hard right now.

She adapts conversation and plans to each person’s needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. Sessions tend to focus on clear strategies and small steps that can be used between meetings. Susan uses everyday language and straightforward tools so people can put ideas into practice quickly.

Susan combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques with solution-focused conversations. She also draws on existential ideas to help people weigh values and purpose when life feels uncertain. Those approaches are used to address issues such as grief, depression, relationship concerns, and parenting stress.

People who reach out can expect a collaborative process where goals are agreed on together. Susan helps clients build coping skills for mood problems, ADHD-related challenges, and the stress of major life changes. She also supports exploration of identity concerns, intimacy-related issues, and communication problems.

Therapy with Susan is practical and goal-oriented while remaining attentive to emotion. She encourages clients to try small changes, notice what helps, and adjust the plan as needed. This ongoing adjustment is part of moving toward clearer priorities and steadier routines.

How therapy approaches inform online care

Susan commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her work. CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical steps to change unhelpful patterns. DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication to manage intense feelings and improve relationships.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Susan will discuss your goals and preferences and help decide which methods to try first. The plan can be adjusted as progress is made so the work matches what matters to you.

Confirm the available session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let someone use video when they want face-to-face contact or choose audio when bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals can help you pick the format that best fits your needs and daily routine.
