About Susan
Susan Rhodes brings two decades of mental health experience to her Texas practice, combining professional training as an LICSW and an LCSW with a practical, hands-on approach to therapy.
Background and approach
She draws on a wide variety of professional settings and life experiences to shape individualized treatment plans, meeting clients where they are and helping them move toward meaningful change. Her work often addresses stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, and ADHD among many other issues.
Susan's style is creative, direct, and compassionate; she emphasizes collaboration and tailors strategies to each person's preferences and pace. Clients can expect exploration of steps for healing, practical personal inventories, and actions to support recovery along with connections to relevant resources.
Teletherapy is a frequent part of her practice, offering scheduling flexibility and the chance to engage from home. Outside of clinical work she trains for marathons, enjoys cooking and day trips, and pursues writing and community projects.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and supporting clients as they find their own solutions; it helps people build self-understanding and make changes at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works by identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaching practical skills to shift them, which is often useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented method that helps clarify ambivalence and strengthen commitment to change, commonly used in work around addictions and behavior change.Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and needs and will help clients try ideas from different methods to determine what fits best, framing treatment as a collaborative learning process rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allow for flexible scheduling and access from home or work. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care around busy lives and to use approaches like CBT or Motivational Interviewing in ways that fit a client's routine and comfort level.
