About Susan
Susan Ramsey-French is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with eight years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, anger, relationship and family concerns, and burnout from caregiving or demanding work. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use between meetings.
Her style centers on listening and helping people name patterns that keep them stuck. She uses straightforward tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness practices are introduced in small, usable steps to reduce reactivity and interrupt escalating anger.
For people who carry traumatic memories, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is part of her approach when it fits the client’s goals. Motivational Interviewing is used to explore ambivalence and build momentum for change. Client-Centered Therapy informs how she works with each person’s priorities.
Sessions tend to focus on what is happening now and what can be done next. That might mean learning ways to step back from a flash of anger, building clearer communication skills, or planning realistic self-management strategies. She also helps people cope with grief, abandonment issues, body image concerns, and blended family stress.
She works in English and practices in Florida. Her approach emphasizes collaboration and steady skill-building rather than quick fixes. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to set clear, practical goals.
How her approaches work in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and priorities. In practice this means the therapist listens closely and helps people set clear steps that match what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down cycles of thought and action that fuel anger or anxiety and substitutes more helpful patterns. EMDR is used for traumatic memories when a client and therapist decide it fits the work; it involves structured procedures to reduce the intensity of distressing recollections. Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, symptoms, and preferences and together they decide whether CBT, EMDR, mindfulness, or a mix makes the most sense. That decision is revisited as work progresses. Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, since the biography does not list formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example a shorter check-in during a lunch break or avoiding travel time on a workday. It can also allow people to keep consistent weekly work when schedules are irregular. The therapist will discuss what works best for session length and pacing during the initial scheduling step.Areas of expertise
