More about Susan

  • 7 years' experience
  • Female
  • LMFT

Welcome! It takes more strength and courage to pursue change than it does to remain in an unhealthy pattern or situation. I can offer a warm, supportive, safe, confidential environment conducive to growth and change.

I have a Master's Degree in Clinical Psychology and am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in both Michigan and Indiana. I have many years of professional experience as well as personal experience with difficult situations, transitions, life stresses, and living in another country and culture. If you suffer from trauma, depression, anxiety, parenting issues, communication problems, chemical abuse, or grief, I can help. If you are looking for help with growth in relationships, learning more about yourself, staying present in the moment, transitioning to a new life phase, and generally flourishing in life, I am here for you. I believe the relationship between therapist and client is key in the success of therapy. I have a relational approach to psychotherapy and can tailor therapy and a treatment plan to your specific needs. Together we can look at unhelpful patterns in your life as well as work to heal the hurt life brings.

I would be honored to work with you through this very personal process.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Susan has been a complete God send.

Susan has helped me work through several anxiety and relationship challenges in the last few months. She is calming, easy to talk to, and provides sound advice as well as a listening ear to work through my thoughts and feelings.

Reviewed Jul 2020

Susan is so helpful. She gives me excellent suggestions and ideas on how to communicate better, helps me understand my own issues, and prays for me no matter what’s going on. I couldn’t imagine having a better, more knowledgeable counselor.

I am in awe of the wisdom Susan Roney brings to the session. She is thoughtful and understanding of my thoughts and opinions. She never makes me feel like I am wrong for feeling a certain way. She has a warm spirit that radiates throughout the session.

Susan really talks me through everything and lets me see what my options are.

My counselor Susan is amazing. She doesn't make me feel bad for not being consistent and the fact i will send a whole book at midnight on the weekend. She is very understanding and gives me tools to help me along the way. My life has gotten easier because of her help with my boundaries. Sometimes just knowing i have someone to talk to at any moment can help certain situations as well.

Susan is great at balancing progress and comfort. The process of working through issues is just that. I appreciate how Susan can push me at times and allow me to lingering when it will be helpful.

Reviewed February 2021

When I talk to her I don't feel like I'm a patient, just a person. The process doesn't feel clinical at all and I feel comfortable. More comfortable than I've been with other therapists. I haven't been seeing her long but knowing I can message her any time, day or night brings me great comfort.

Reviewed February 2021

Susan is exceptional at what she does, helping people move forward with life in a positive direction. Susan has helped me recover from a divorce, address personal issues that impact me at work and all my relationships. I have been through many counselors in the past 30 years and I can say Susan is very rare. She is smart, compassionate, caring, kind and encouraging. I don't know how I would have made it this far in my recovery if it wasn't for her. 5 Star.

Reviewed Dec 2020

Truly listens and wants to understand my point of view. She is supportive and helpful, without being judgemental, when you've done things you aren't proud of and are trying to be better. She has opened my mind to many things I thought I was "over" but had really just been ignoring.

Susan is absolutely incredible. When I first signed up and was matched with her, I had a lot of emotional baggage to unload. Long emails every day for the first few days. She not only responded, but her responses were dead on, thought provoking, and validating. We had our first phone conversation last week and it was like talking to an old friend. She managed to lift years of stress off of my shoulders with solutions I never would have come to on my own. She is absolutely the blessing I needed when it felt like my life was falling apart.
