About Susan
Susan Gerber is an NM LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in New Mexico with 40 years of professional experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, anger, and shifts in life circumstances. She also helps with sleep problems, low self-esteem, parenting strain, trauma and abuse, and mood changes like depression.
Susan keeps sessions direct and practical. She listens to what is making day-to-day life harder and helps identify small, concrete changes to try. Conversations may cover how reactions build, what triggers frustration, and ways to respond differently when tension rises.
Her approach includes talking through relationship hurts such as infidelity and jealousy and looking at how patterns repeat between partners. She also supports people coping with grief, loss, and major life transitions, helping them find steadier routines and clearer priorities.
Susan has worked with people on motivation and confidence for many years. That often means breaking larger problems into manageable steps. She encourages measurable goals and regular check-ins so progress is visible.
Starting therapy with Susan usually begins by describing the current problem and practical goals. Early sessions tend to focus on immediate relief and on-building skills that reduce reactivity. Over time the work shifts toward long-term patterns and stronger day-to-day strategies.
How therapeutic methods translate to online sessions
Evidence-based techniques typically used in counseling focus on understanding patterns and practicing new responses. One common approach is cognitive work that helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, test them, and try alternative ways of thinking. This can reduce hot reactions and worry by changing what runs through the mind before a reaction.Another common technique is skills training for emotion and behavior - learning concrete strategies to manage anger, improve sleep, or reduce anxiety. These are step-by-step tools to use when stress rises, and they work well when practiced between sessions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapy process. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which techniques fit the problem, goals, and personal preferences. That means trying an approach, reviewing how it goes, and shifting tactics when needed.

Online sessions can help fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins, and making scheduling easier around work or family commitments. Therapists and licensed professionals often use online meetings to maintain momentum between sessions and to practice real-life strategies in the client’s daily routine.
