About Susan

Susan Henry is a licensed social worker with 25 years of clinical experience who focuses on helping people navigate complex emotional and life transitions. She holds LISW and LCSW credentials and works from a person-centered, strengths-based stance that emphasizes practical coping skills alongside deeper emotional work.

Background and approach

Her practice highlights support for stress and anxiety, trauma recovery, relationship dynamics, grief, addictions, and attention-related concerns such as ADHD. Clients find an affirming, nonjudgmental environment where exploration of patterns, values, and self-compassion is central.

Her style blends evidence-informed methods with empathic listening to help people address issues like communication difficulties, life changes, self-esteem, and career stress. She also offers support around intimacy, family matters, and complex emotional wounds that can arise from abandonment, adoption and foster care histories, or caregiving stress.

Therapeutic work with Susan often focuses on building clearer coping strategies, strengthening emotional regulation, and encouraging personal growth. Sessions aim to help individuals identify goals, test new behaviors, and cultivate resilience so they can move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Access

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify their values and take committed steps toward a meaningful life while learning to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings; it can be helpful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce distress and improve functioning, often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns influence current connections and emotional responses, supporting work on intimacy, relationship dynamics, and healing from attachment wounds.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist partners with each client to assess which methods and tools align with their goals, preferences, and the challenges they bring, and adapts the plan over time based on progress and feedback.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling and communication style. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, maintain continuity during transitions, and access consistent support from licensed professionals regardless of location within the service area.
