About Susan

Susan Armstrong is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in Montana with 11 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, attention and focus concerns, and related mood issues. She speaks English and uses straightforward conversation to help people manage daily struggles.

Susan frames clients as the experts on their own lives. She listens for strengths that can be used to address problems like frustration at work or simmering resentment at home. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings, plus short-term goals that feel achievable.

Susan pays attention to how attention and memory problems affect mood and behavior. She also addresses communication problems, control issues, impulsivity, and obsessive or compulsive patterns when they come up. Her background includes work with disruptive mood dysregulation concerns and post-traumatic stress related difficulties.

In sessions she helps people talk through what triggers their anger and what happens next. She uses clear explanations and simple tools so people can notice patterns and try new responses. The aim is to reduce repeated outbursts and build steadier reactions over time.

Practical matters are part of the work. Susan helps people set realistic expectations, practice small changes, and track progress. To get started, she asks people to pick an appointment path and complete a short matching questionnaire before the first session.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques are used to help people understand and manage anger and related mood problems. One approach focuses on identifying triggers and testing small behavior changes to reduce reactive responses; it uses straightforward exercises and tracking to spot patterns. Another approach looks at attention and concentration strategies to reduce frustration tied to focus problems and improve daily functioning.

Finding the right mix of methods happens together. The therapist will review your goals, symptoms, and preferences and suggest techniques to try. Sessions are collaborative so adjustments can be made based on what helps and what does not work for you.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats. Please confirm current session options before booking so you know whether sessions are by video, phone, or another method. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time so people can schedule more consistently. Licensed professionals can use these practical benefits to help people practice new responses and track progress between meetings.
