About Susan
Susan Hammond is a New York Licensed Clinical Social Worker - Recredentialed (LCSW-R) with 30 years of practice. She focuses on everyday pressures like stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, anger, relationship strain, grief, career questions, and mood concerns.
She works from the view that people know their own story and bring strengths into therapy. Sessions aim to notice what is getting in the way and build practical ways to respond differently. Conversations are direct and focused on immediate, usable steps rather than abstract theory.
Client-Centered Therapy guides how she listens and responds. That means attention to each person's priorities and choices during sessions. Mindfulness Therapy is also part of her work, with simple awareness practices to reduce reactivity and manage strong feelings.
Her background includes decades of clinical practice in New York across common life challenges. She helps people address family of origin issues, guilt and shame, loneliness, questions of life purpose, and women's issues alongside mood disorders and bipolar concerns. Progress often comes from small changes added into daily life.
Starting with a clear goal, she and the client track what helps and what needs adjusting. Sessions use straightforward language and short-term plans when that suits the person. The focus is on learning practical skills to respond to anger, stress, and relationship tensions more effectively.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's priorities and decisions. Online sessions using this approach emphasize clear goals, collaborative planning, and frequent check-ins about what is helpful. It is useful for addressing life stress, relationship strain, and anger that comes from daily situations.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to notice strong feelings without acting on them. Online work can include brief guided exercises and steady practice assignments to reduce reactivity and improve mood management.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together choose methods that fit the person's needs. That collaborative process may adjust over the first few sessions as clarity grows.
The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting appointments into a busy schedule, shorter check-ins when time is limited, and doing guided mindfulness practice from wherever it is easiest to concentrate. These practicalities can make it simpler to keep momentum while working on anger, stress, and mood issues.
