About Susan
Rev. Susan Sciarratta is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 12 years of counseling experience. She draws on a previous 20-year career as a professional engineer and now helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, relationship struggles, parenting concerns, and anger. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear goals rather than abstract talk.
Her approach is straightforward and goal-oriented. She works with clients on motivation, self-esteem, and confidence through conversation and practical exercises. When grief or life changes are present, she guides people through coping strategies and planning for what comes next.
Sciarratta uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques suited to each person. She discusses and chooses methods that fit a client’s needs and life circumstances. The work usually involves tracking patterns, learning new responses, and practicing different ways to react to stress and frustration.
Her prior career in engineering shapes a problem-solving style. She often breaks challenges into manageable steps and helps clients test small changes. That can be useful for career questions, decision-making, and rebuilding confidence after setbacks.
People who contact her should expect clear, practical conversation about specific problems. She supports those dealing with family-related stress, caregiver strain, midlife shifts, and feelings like guilt, shame, or isolation. Sessions are offered in English and reflect her experience in Pennsylvania.
Evidence-based methods and online sessions
Many of her sessions use evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful patterns. Cognitive approaches look at thoughts and beliefs that fuel anger and anxiety and teach practical ways to test and reframe them. Behavioral techniques involve practicing different responses and small changes to routines to reduce stress and build new habits.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She and the client will decide together which methods make sense based on the client’s goals, preferences, and life demands. That collaborative process helps shape session goals and homework between meetings.
Confirm the exact online session options before booking. When offered, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Many people find that virtual sessions help maintain consistency while they practice skills in real life.
