About Susan
Susan LeClair is a Connecticut Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 22 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, and anger. She also sees people coping with trauma, parenting strain, identity and LGBT questions, and major life transitions.
Susan’s background includes long experience in crisis intervention and helping people after loss or separation. She has worked with issues related to domestic violence, sexual abuse, adoption and fertility concerns, and career or life changes. Her work draws on practical, goal-focused methods that aim to clarify immediate steps people can try between sessions.
Sessions tend to be direct and problem-focused. Susan listens for what is most pressing, helps set concrete small goals, and checks progress in short, doable steps. She says change happens from inside a person and that readiness to take action is an important part of the process.
She describes herself as ethical and non-judgmental and will suggest a referral when a different kind of help is needed. The practice supports people dealing with long-term conditions as well as situational crises, including caregiver stress, chronic illness challenges, and compassion fatigue.
People who choose her often want practical strategies for regulating anger, improving communication, or managing anxiety and stress while juggling family and work demands. Sessions focus on clear next steps, coping tools, and steady progress.
Susan offers services in English and practices in Connecticut as an LMFT.
How Solution-Focused Work Translates to Online Sessions
Susan uses Solution-Focused Therapy, which centers on practical next steps and short-term goals. This approach looks for exceptions to current problems and builds on moments that go better, making it useful for anger, stress, and relationship issues.The method is brief and action oriented. Sessions focus on what a person wants to be different and which small changes are realistic right now. That can help with managing temper, handling workplace frustration, or reducing resentment at home.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist and client decide together which methods fit the client’s goals, needs, and schedule. If another form of help would be more useful, she will suggest referrals or adjustments to the plan.
Confirm the exact online session formats before booking, as formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove commuting time. Different formats can also suit lower bandwidth or less on-camera time, depending on what the practice offers. Licensed professionals often use these options to help therapy fit into everyday life without changing its focus or quality.
