About Susan

Susan Frey, LPC, brings two decades of clinical experience to her work with people navigating stress, anxiety, addictions, mood disorders, grief, and life transitions, including ADHD-related challenges.

Background and approach

She trained in counseling psychology and shifted into therapy after a major life disruption prompted a career change, which deepened her commitment to helping others find practical pathways forward. Susan favors evidence-based strategies and adapts her approach to match each client’s needs and goals.

Her practice blends cognitive behavioral techniques with solution-focused methods and acceptance and commitment strategies when appropriate, aiming to reduce symptoms while building skills for long-term coping and wellbeing. She also draws on emotionally-focused and relationship-oriented tools when interpersonal issues are central.

Susan’s goal is collaborative work that helps clients move toward a more satisfying, functional life by clarifying values, managing difficult emotions, and developing concrete behavioral plans.

Evidence-Based Approaches Delivered Online



Susan commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in her online work. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms such as anxiety, depression, and problematic habits. ACT emphasizes clarifying values, increasing psychological flexibility, and learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings while pursuing meaningful action. Both approaches are practical and skills-based, which translates well to remote sessions and homework between meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Susan approaches that choice collaboratively. She will discuss presenting concerns, goals, and personal preferences with each client and tailor use of CBT, ACT, or relationship-focused tools to fit those needs rather than applying a single method by default.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care around work, travel, or busy schedules, and allow clients to practice new skills in their everyday environments while receiving guidance and feedback from a licensed professional.
