Susan Sullivan, LMFT

Susan Sullivan is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 11 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety alongside concerns like depression, grief, addiction, and relationship problems. Susan aims to build a straightforward, collaborative relationship where the client’s experience guides the work.

She uses a client-centered stance that emphasizes meeting people where they are. That means listening first, then shaping goals together. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness tools are part of her approach when those methods fit a person’s needs.

Susan also draws on narrative and solution-focused methods to help people reframe painful stories and target practical changes. Motivational interviewing is used when someone is weighing big changes or struggling with motivation. She believes therapy works best when it fits a person’s life and values.

Sessions are approached as teamwork. Susan helps clients clarify goals, try new strategies, and track what changes. She blends psychoeducation with hands-on exercises so people leave with clear next steps.

Clients can expect a respectful, down-to-earth therapist who aims for honest conversation. Susan practices in Texas and conducts work in English. People interested in starting can follow the clinic’s intake steps to match with her and schedule sessions.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy puts the person’s experience first and focuses on building a trusting partnership. Online sessions using this approach start by hearing the whole story and then setting goals together in plain terms. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change patterns; it works well for stress, anxiety, and depression by giving clear tools to try between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy helps people notice thoughts and bodily reactions without judgment and can reduce reactivity to stress through brief exercises and guided practice.

Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will try methods that fit the client’s day-to-day life and adjust the plan as progress is tracked.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use written exercises and recordings between meetings. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT worksheets, mindfulness practices, and narrative exercises to work well in remote sessions, helping clients practice skills where they live and learn what fits best for them.
