About Susan

Susan Stever is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Utah who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship difficulties, trauma, and related concerns such as depression, grief, and ADHD.

Background and approach

She brings five years of clinical experience and an emphasis on respectful, compassionate care that avoids stigmatizing labels. Her approach is adaptable and centered on each person’s needs rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

Susan has worked across a variety of settings, including with incarcerated individuals, and uses that background to support clients facing major life transitions and behavioral change. Her style is described as warm, interactive, and inclusive, blending evidence-based methods with humanistic sensitivity.

Treatment often integrates cognitive-behavioral strategies, acceptance and mindfulness practices, and skills drawn from dialectical and client-centered frameworks to build practical coping tools and clearer decision-making. Clients work collaboratively with Susan to set goals and shape a tailored plan that fits their values and circumstances.

She emphasizes empowerment, introspective analysis, and actionable steps to help clients move toward greater well-being and functioning.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify their values and take committed steps toward them while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. ACT can be useful for stress, anxiety, and navigating life changes where values-driven action matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) emphasizes identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety and build practical coping skills. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and nonjudgmental observation of thoughts and sensations, which supports emotion regulation and can complement other skill-based methods.

Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to explore their goals, preferences, and responses to different techniques, adapting methods over time to find the best fit rather than insisting on a single path from the start.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats make it possible to schedule sessions around work or caregiving responsibilities and to use brief text or chat check-ins between sessions when helpful. Licensed professionals can apply the described approaches in remote formats to support steady progress while accommodating each person’s routine and needs.
