About Susan

Susan LeClair is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 22 years of clinical experience based in Connecticut.

Background and approach

She has worked extensively in crisis intervention and with concerns such as depression, anxiety, grief and loss, trauma and abuse, relationship and family challenges, and gender identity and LGBT matters. Her practice has also addressed issues related to divorce and co-parenting, domestic violence, sexual abuse, fertility and adoption, and career or life transitions.

LeClair approaches therapy with a clear commitment to ethical, nonjudgmental care and emphasizes the importance of a comfortable, trusting therapeutic relationship. She has supported clients facing intimacy-related struggles, parenting and blended family dynamics, anger and self-esteem issues, and complex conditions including bipolar disorder and ADHD.

When a concern falls outside her scope, she will refer clients to a more appropriate resource rather than compromise their care. Clients can expect a collaborative stance that encourages internal change and practical steps toward improvement.

She offers various session formats and works to match interventions to each person’s needs and goals, helping them move forward through life transitions, grief, and ongoing stressors.

Solution-Focused Care Delivered Online

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on identifying practical solutions and building on a client’s strengths rather than focusing only on past problems. This approach helps break down goals into small, achievable steps and can be especially useful for stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, and coping with life changes.

In practice, this therapist pairs goal-oriented techniques with a supportive, nonjudgmental stance, helping clients move toward specific improvements while honoring their values and circumstances. The process is collaborative - the therapist works with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, preferences, and goals rather than prescribing a one-size-fits-all plan.

Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions, manage ongoing stress, and access therapy from various locations within Connecticut. Licensed professionals can adapt solution-focused strategies across these formats to help clients make steady, practical progress.
