More about Susan
- 20 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I'm a compassionate clinical social worker licensed in Connecticut with 20 years of experience. I have worked with teens, families, and adults who've had a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, stress, parenting problems, and substance misuse.
My counseling style is warm and interactive. I am strength based and treat all individuals with respect.
My approach combines cognitive-behavioral therapy, solution focused, evidence based, and person-centered counseling.
When I am not working, I enjoy being outdoors, hiking and just enjoying nature. I love all animals, and last year I rescued a cat.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
