About Susan

Susan Armstrong is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) practicing in Montana with 11 years of experience. She focuses on workplace wellbeing and everyday struggles people bring from their jobs into their lives. She helps people address stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and challenges with focus and motivation.

Susan believes each person knows their own story and brings strengths to change. She listens for those strengths and helps clients use them to face obstacles. Sessions are practical and straightforward, aimed at small, manageable steps that build forward momentum.

Her work often centers on concerns that affect day-to-day functioning. That includes trouble concentrating, impulsivity, obsessive thoughts or compulsive behaviors, mood swings, and social anxiety. She also supports people dealing with attachment issues, communication and control struggles, forgiveness, and trauma-related symptoms.

Susan draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to tailor support to each person. She partners with clients to set clear goals and track progress so change feels tangible. The process emphasizes collaboration, problem solving, and skills people can use between sessions.

People choosing therapy with her should expect a respectful, goal-minded approach. She offers guidance while encouraging clients to take the lead on what matters most. To begin, follow the site’s matching steps and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

How evidence-based techniques can fit into online therapy

Many evidence-based techniques focus on teaching concrete skills and changing unhelpful patterns. Cognitive methods work by helping people notice and reframe thoughts that fuel anxiety, low mood, or workplace stress. These approaches are useful for worries, social anxiety, and negative self-talk.

Behavioral strategies focus on building routines and breaking cycles that keep problems in place. That can include scheduling activity to lift mood, practicing facing feared situations step by step, or using small experiments to test assumptions. These methods are helpful for low motivation, mood disorders, and obsessive behaviors.

Picking the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. Clients and the therapist decide together which methods fit the client’s needs and preferences.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available session formats before booking. The main practical benefit is flexibility - online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten travel time, and allow for consistent check-ins. Talk with the therapist about what will work best for scheduling and session length so therapy fits into everyday life.
