About Sus
Sus Austill is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who practices from a client-centered perspective while drawing on cognitive behavioral and mindfulness approaches.
Background and approach
With 37 years of professional experience and a long personal recovery history, she combines empathic listening with practical tools to help people navigate addiction, trauma, grief, ADHD, anxiety, depression, and relationship or family challenges. Her background includes work across outpatient, residential, and inpatient settings, giving her familiarity with complex mental health and substance use concerns.
She uses a flexible, intuitive style rather than a single rigid method, adapting narrative, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness techniques to each person’s needs. Sus also brings experience with caregiver stress, cancer-related concerns, codependency, domestic violence, and issues such as impulsivity, isolation, and life purpose.
Clients can expect a steady, collaborative presence focused on repair, direction, and the chance to tell their stories. Practicing in Florida, Sus offers services in English and Danish and accepts international clients.
Her approach is rooted in long-term professional experience and a belief that good therapy meets the individual where they are, offering both practical strategies and a supportive space for change.
Practical approaches for online healing and growth
Sus often uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in online work; client-centered therapy focuses on empathic listening and supporting each person’s own strengths so they can find direction, while CBT looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and offers concrete strategies to reduce symptoms and build coping skills. She also integrates mindfulness practices to help with stress, anxiety, and the moment-to-moment regulation of emotions.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and she frames that choice as collaborative. Together the therapist and client assess goals, preferences, and responses to different techniques, adapting methods over time so the work stays relevant and effective for the person’s unique situation.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity when travel or relocation occurs, and let people connect from their own environments while working on issues like ADHD, addiction, trauma, grief, and relationship concerns.
