About Susan

Susan Grimmo is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) based in Massachusetts who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, mood disorders, substance use, and life transitions.

Background and approach

With five years of clinical experience since completing a Master of Social Work at Salem State University in 2017, she brings a blend of inpatient psychiatric and court system experience to her practice.

Her background includes work on a dual diagnosis inpatient psychiatric unit and current full-time work within the court system, which has shaped a practical, grounded approach to complex emotional and behavioral concerns.

Susan is comfortable addressing a range of challenges including addictions, bipolar disorder, depression, ADHD, trauma and abuse, grief, eating concerns, relationship and family issues, and coping with change. She aims to support clients as they develop skills and insight to move toward their goals, emphasizing collaboration and steady progress.

Her style is professional yet approachable, oriented toward evidence-based techniques and realistic strategies that fit each person’s circumstances.

Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care

Many of the approaches Susan uses are grounded in well-researched techniques that help people develop coping skills and change unhelpful patterns. Cognitive behavioral methods focus on identifying and adjusting thought and behavior patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, and substance use, teaching practical tools for day-to-day change. Motivational strategies support people who are ambivalent about change by exploring values and strengthening personal motivation to pursue recovery or healthier habits.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with clients to assess symptoms, goals, and preferences and then adapts techniques to fit individual needs rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model.

Online therapy offers practical benefits through multiple formats: video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions for convenience, and live chat or text-based messaging for brief check-ins or ongoing support. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care around work, family, or other responsibilities while accessing licensed professionals who can guide treatment planning and skill development.
