About Susan
Susan Long, LPC, helps adults who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, or life changes find steady ground. She offers calm attention and a caring presence so people can talk through what’s most pressing and begin to make small, workable changes.
Susan listens closely and responds with empathy. She focuses on real-life problems like workplace strain, compassion fatigue, and struggles with self-esteem or body image. Sessions move at a client’s pace and aim to build everyday coping skills rather than quick fixes.
With 13 years of experience, Susan draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address issues such as panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, depression, and social anxiety. She also helps people manage caregiver stress, feelings of isolation, guilt, and questions about life purpose.
Conversations in her sessions are practical and straightforward. She helps clients identify patterns, try new ways of responding, and practice skills between meetings. Progress is measured by what improves in daily life rather than by labels.

How evidence-based techniques fit into online care
Two common evidence-based approaches Susan uses are practical skills training and trauma-informed strategies. Practical skills training focuses on teaching clear tools for managing stress, panic, and workplace strain so people can use them between sessions. Trauma-informed strategies help address the effects of past events by building safety, pacing work, and developing grounding techniques to reduce distress.Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your needs and comfort level. Techniques may be adjusted over time based on what helps in everyday life, and you and the therapist decide together what to try next.
Confirm the exact session formats available before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule by removing commute time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and enabling consistent follow-up after a stressful workday. Many people find this flexibility helps them practice new skills in real situations and maintain steady progress without reorganizing an entire day.
