About Susan

Dr. Susan Lieberman draws on 24 years of clinical practice to guide people through emotional challenges using evidence-based methods.

Background and approach

She blends cognitive behavioral techniques with acceptance and commitment principles to help clients identify unhelpful patterns, clarify values, and build practical skills for managing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and ADHD. Her approach emphasizes collaboration and gradual skill-building rather than quick fixes.

Sessions often focus on improving emotional regulation, addressing trauma and grief, and tackling relationship and intimacy-related concerns. Dr.

Lieberman also works with issues such as addictions, compassion fatigue, sleep problems, parenting strains, career concerns, and the complex effects of chronic illness and caregiver stress. She integrates attachment-based and client-centered strategies to strengthen connection, communication, and self-understanding.

Licensed in Kansas as KS Psychologist LP 1071, she aims to create an affirming environment where people can explore abandonment or attachment wounds, dependency or control struggles, and the interplay of co-occurring conditions. Dr.

Lieberman frames therapy as a partnership that helps clients set realistic goals and develop tools to cope with life changes and build resilience.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care

Dr. Lieberman frequently uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify values and take committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present; ACT is often helpful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. She also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which teaches practical strategies to identify and challenge unhelpful thinking and behavioral patterns that maintain depression, anxiety, ADHD-related struggles, and sleep problems. When attachment wounds or relational patterns are central, attachment-based techniques are woven into sessions to explore connection, communication, and trust.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to assess goals, preferences, and symptoms and then tailors methods - sometimes combining elements of ACT, CBT, and attachment work - so the plan fits the client’s needs and evolves over time.

Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access regular support, practice skills between meetings, and maintain continuity of care while balancing daily responsibilities.
