About Susan

Susan Urtz brings more than 25 years of clinical experience to her practice as a licensed mental health counselor. She holds LMHC and LCMHC credentials and practices in Florida, working with individuals, couples, and family systems to identify practical steps toward healthier, more satisfying lives.

Background and approach

Her work commonly addresses concerns such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, low self-esteem, and family conflict, and she draws on a whole-person perspective to help clients pursue meaningful change. Her approach blends evidence-based strategies like cognitive behavioral therapy with mindfulness practices and client-centered support.

She emphasizes steady compassion and respect for each person’s background and experience while focusing on concrete goals that clients set for themselves. Susan encourages clients to recognize areas of their lives they can influence and partners with them to develop skills and solutions that fit their values and daily realities.

Clients who want a collaborative, goal-oriented process that integrates practical skills and reflective work may find her style a good fit. She invites those ready to make changes to explore treatment options and to plan steps toward a more balanced and productive life.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify personal values and take committed action toward them; it is useful for people facing anxiety, depression, life transitions, and struggles with motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that maintain emotional distress and teaches practical skills to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration, creating space for clients to explore their experience and set their own goals.

Deciding which approach fits best is part of the work with a therapist. Susan will collaborate with each client to determine which methods align with their needs, preferences, and goals, and she may draw from more than one approach to tailor the process. This collaborative process helps ensure that interventions are relevant and manageable for the person seeking support.

Online therapy offers flexibility through multiple formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - which can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules or to engage from different locations within Florida. These options allow licensed professionals to deliver interventions, teach skills, and support clients' progress while accommodating varied communication styles and logistical needs.
