About Sus
Sus Austill is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 37 years of experience. She works with adults on problems such as addiction, trauma, anxiety, depression, parenting strain, and anger. She uses practical conversation and tools to help people manage stress and difficult feelings.
Her background combines long-term recovery experience with decades in clinical settings. That includes work in outpatient, residential, and inpatient programs, plus crisis stabilization. Sus has substantial personal experience with sobriety and parenting, which informs how she talks about substance use and family strain.
In sessions she draws on a small toolkit of approaches rather than a single method. Expect straightforward, person-focused conversation, motivational interviewing techniques, and elements of cognitive-behavioral thinking to notice patterns and try different responses. Mindfulness and narrative techniques are also used to help people slow down and make sense of painful events.
She has worked with people facing PTSD, moral injury, compassion fatigue, and those dealing with grief or major life change. Sus also supports individuals struggling with ADHD, intimacy issues, and relationship conflict. She is experienced with issues around gender and sexuality, including LGBT and gender dysphoria concerns.
Sus offers therapy in English and Danish and accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the platform.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s concerns. Online sessions using this approach let the therapist reflect back what matters and help someone feel heard while they describe anger or stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking and try small behavior experiments. In an online session this can look like tracking triggers, testing new responses between meetings, and reviewing what worked. Mindfulness Therapy involves short practices to notice bodily signs and automatic reactions. Online sessions can introduce simple breathing or grounding exercises to use when frustration rises.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Sus will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and how they prefer to work. Together they will pick methods that fit the person’s life and the problems they want to address, and adjust plans as progress is tracked.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into daily life - for example, it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins between in-person visits, and make scheduling around work or caregiving simpler. Therapists can assign short practices to try between meetings and review them in the next session to keep progress moving.
