About Susan

Susan Jentoft is an LPC in Mississippi with 25 years of clinical experience helping people navigate complex emotional and life challenges. She focuses on a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family issues, grief, trauma, addictions, and ADHD.

Background and approach

Her background includes work with eating and sleeping problems, parenting and career transitions, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue, among many other areas. Jentoft blends evidence-based approaches with a client-centered sensibility, aiming to meet each person where they are and tailor interventions to their needs.

She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and mindfulness practices to help clients build coping skills, improve communication, and clarify values. Her practice style emphasizes collaboration, practical strategies, and gentle challenge to support meaningful change.

Clients can expect a thoughtful, empathetic clinician who respects varied life stories and cultural backgrounds. Susan offers services in English and accepts international clients, providing flexible session formats to fit different lifestyles and schedules.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and build actions that align with those values while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. ACT can be useful for stress, anxiety, and navigating life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, offering practical skills for depression, anxiety, and coping with daily challenges. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and self-compassion techniques that complement both ACT and CBT and can reduce reactivity to difficult emotions.

Finding the right blend of these methods is part of the therapeutic process, and Susan approaches that decision collaboratively. She works with clients to understand their goals and preferences, then tailors strategies from ACT, CBT, or mindfulness-informed work to fit the person's situation and pace.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility for different schedules and lifestyles. These remote options make it easier to maintain continuity of care across distances and busy routines while still engaging in structured therapeutic work with a licensed professional.
