Susan Hancock, LPC

Susan Hancock is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who helps people manage stress and anxiety. She writes and talks plainly in sessions, aiming for realistic steps that fit daily life. Parents and caregivers often find her approachable and direct when they need practical support.

She uses a straightforward style that avoids counseling jargon. Susan and the client work together to set achievable goals and make a plan that feels doable. Sessions focus on what is happening now and what changes would help most.

Susan has eight years of professional experience and a master's degree in Counseling. She has worked with people coping with depression, anger, relationship strain, and self-esteem concerns. She also has experience supporting those navigating divorce, blended family challenges, and caregiver stress.

Her personal experience as a parent of two adult sons on the autism spectrum gives her familiarity with autism and caregiver needs. That background informs how she helps people manage the practical and emotional demands of caregiving.

In session she aims to build a trusting space where people can speak openly and try new ways of handling problems. The focus is on small, steady steps toward feeling less overwhelmed and more able to handle daily demands.

How therapeutic methods translate to online care

Many evidence-based approaches focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and building clear coping skills. Cognitive-style techniques break down stressful thoughts into manageable parts and teach new ways to respond to worry and negative beliefs. Behavioral strategies focus on small, measurable actions that reduce avoidance and increase meaningful activity, which can help with low mood and anxiety.

Another useful approach emphasizes problem-solving and planning. That involves working together to identify immediate stresses, trying concrete ways to change day-to-day routines, and adjusting plans that aren’t working. These methods are practical and aim to produce visible, steady progress rather than abstract insights.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try techniques that match those needs. Sessions can be adjusted over time so the plan fits the person’s life and progress.

Confirm which session formats are available before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use quieter surroundings or avoid being on camera depending on what helps them engage best.
