About Susana

Susana (Susie) Hernandez offers therapy for adults who are managing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, life transitions, relationship struggles, and concerns such as ADHD and self-esteem.

Background and approach

She centers the therapeutic relationship as the foundation for change, helping clients explore identity and belonging so they can move toward greater integration and healing. Susie emphasizes working with clients' values and strengths to support meaningful progress in daily life and relationships.

With a focus on improving communication and connection within families and addressing intimacy-related and career concerns, she draws on a blend of established therapies including cognitive and acceptance-based methods as well as attachment-focused work.

Susie brings five years of clinical experience and holds an LPC credential, and she incorporates clients' faith and spirituality when they wish to include those elements in therapy. Outside of work she enjoys time with family, exercise, and cooking, which inform her grounded, relational style in session.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

Susie commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify personal values and take meaningful action even when uncomfortable emotions are present. ACT can be useful for issues like anxiety, stress, and navigating life transitions by focusing on what matters most and building psychological flexibility.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical strategies for changing behaviors and managing mood. CBT is often used for depression, anxiety, and coping challenges where skill-building and structured work are helpful.

Finding the right fit is a collaborative process. She works with each client to determine which combination of approaches aligns with their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, adjusting methods as progress unfolds.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats allow clients to engage in therapy from home or other convenient locations, follow a consistent schedule, and use a mix of real-time conversations and written check-ins to reinforce skills between sessions.
