About Susan

Susan Jordan-Kertzner is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado who combines nearly two decades of clinical experience with a practical, person-centered outlook.

Background and approach

She supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, career challenges, parenting concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, and issues related to self-esteem and life purpose. ADHD and LGBT-related concerns are also listed among her areas of focus.

Her style is warm, affirming, and interactive, emphasizing respect and collaboration. She draws from a range of evidence-informed methods including cognitive behavioral approaches, acceptance and commitment principles, attachment work, and dialectical skills to tailor a plan that fits each client.

Clients can expect an emphasis on building coping skills, clarifying values and goals, and creating concrete steps toward growth. Susan also incorporates elements that attend to mind-body connections and emotional processing, and she frames therapy as a partnership aimed at empowerment and improved life satisfaction.

Her practice accepts international clients and offers multiple online formats to fit different schedules and preferences.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify personal values and take committed steps toward them, while also teaching strategies to notice difficult thoughts without letting them dictate behavior. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Both approaches suit anxiety, depression, stress, relationship tensions, and challenges like ADHD-related struggles by offering practical skills and an action-oriented framework.

Susan treats finding the right fit as a collaborative process. She works with clients to explore which methods align with their goals, temperament, and life situation, adjusting techniques over time so the plan stays relevant and effective. The early sessions typically involve assessment and goal-setting to guide that selection together.

Online therapy here uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and reach. These options make it easier to maintain regular sessions around work, family, or travel, and allow clients to access licensed professionals from Colorado even if they are located elsewhere. The variety of formats supports different communication preferences and helps integrate therapy into everyday life.
