About Susan

Susan Josephson is a Florida-licensed LMHC with 25 years of professional experience who works with people seeking help for stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, parenting challenges, ADHD, and a broad range of life concerns.

Background and approach

She emphasizes respectful, sensitive, and compassionate care, shaping conversations and treatment plans around each person's particular circumstances and goals. Susan highlights practical strategies alongside emotional support so clients can move toward clearer coping and decision-making.

Her approach blends client-centered principles with cognitive behavioral techniques to help people explore their values and beliefs while learning concrete tools to manage thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.

Over a long career she has assisted clients facing grief, addiction, relationship and family problems, career stressors, and caregiving burdens, and she brings experience with multicultural concerns, post-traumatic stress, sexual assault and abuse, and end-of-life issues. Susan invites those ready to begin to take the next step and offers tailored care that adapts as needs change.

Integrating client-centered care and CBT in online sessions

Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and collaboration so the therapist follows the client's lead and helps clarify values and goals; this approach supports people navigating grief, life changes, relationship stress, and identity concerns. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior and teaching practical strategies to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and improve daily functioning; it can be especially useful for stress, depression, and coping skills training.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and the therapist will work collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Over time sessions can blend client-centered exploration with CBT techniques so treatment adapts as progress is made and challenges evolve.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules or access care from different locations within Florida. These formats support ongoing work between appointments and allow therapists and clients to choose the communication style that best supports the therapeutic goals.
