About Susan
Susan Sullivan is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Texas with 11 years of experience. She works with adults facing grief, anger, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship and family concerns, and stress from life changes. She also supports people dealing with compassion fatigue, parenting strain, career worries, trauma and intimacy-related issues.
Susan favors a client-centered approach. She treats sessions as a team effort and sees the person in therapy as the expert on their own story. That means she listens first, then helps people map steps that feel doable in their lives.
Her work uses several well-known, evidence-informed methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps spot patterns of thought that make emotions worse. Mindfulness exercises offer simple ways to notice feelings and reduce reactivity. Narrative and solution-focused ideas help people rewrite problems and try small, practical changes.
Sessions include straightforward discussion, skill practice, and education about how emotions and behavior interact. Susan describes planning treatment together and checking progress as part of regular meetings. She also has experience running group work as well as individual sessions.
People who contact her can expect a practical, down-to-earth process that focuses on real problems. The emphasis is on making small, steady changes for managing anger, coping with loss, reducing stress, and rebuilding confidence.
How Susan blends practical methods for online sessions
Clients can expect work grounded in Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful collaboration so the client sets goals and the therapist follows their lead. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that help reduce reactivity and make it easier to notice emotions without immediately acting on them.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Susan will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and together they’ll decide what methods to try first. That collaborative process means adjustments happen as needed based on what helps most in weekly sessions.
