About Susan

Susan Armstrong is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) practicing in Montana with 11 years of experience. She focuses on evidence-based care for stress, anxiety, anger, self-esteem concerns, depression, and ADHD, guiding clients toward practical strategies to manage concentration, motivation, and memory challenges.

Background and approach

Susan frames clients as experts in their own stories and works collaboratively to build on existing strengths while addressing areas that interfere with daily functioning. Her approach emphasizes empowerment and steady progress rather than quick fixes, encouraging clients to take courageous steps toward a more satisfying life.

Susan also brings experience addressing attachment and communication difficulties, control and impulse-related concerns, mood disorders including disruptive mood dysregulation, obsessive-compulsive issues, post-traumatic stress, social anxiety, and workplace stress. She aims to create a supportive environment where goals are clarified, coping skills are practiced, and realistic change is achievable.

Susan values practical tools and thoughtful reflection, offering approachable guidance for people seeking to improve emotional regulation, focus, and interpersonal functioning. Her Montana-based practice is oriented toward helping clients identify concrete next steps and maintain momentum between sessions.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Online Flexibility

Many clients benefit from approaches that teach concrete skills for managing attention, mood, and anxiety. Cognitive behavioral techniques focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors; these methods can reduce avoidance, improve focus, and strengthen emotional regulation. Skills-based training for attention and impulse control emphasizes practical routines, organizational strategies, and brief exercises that support concentration and daily functioning.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work and will be determined collaboratively. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped in the past, then tailor techniques and pacing to each person's needs so progress feels manageable and relevant.

Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make scheduling easier around work and life responsibilities. These formats allow licensed professionals to deliver consistent care and skill practice between meetings, helping clients apply strategies in real time and maintain momentum toward their goals.
