Susan Owen

Susan Owen is a licensed social worker with 35 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and grief. She focuses on life stage changes, self-esteem, and motivation. Her work often centers on practical ways to cope and regain balance. She provides care with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.

Clients can expect a straightforward, person-focused approach. Conversations are shaped to what matters most to the individual. Susan listens first, then helps set achievable steps and goals. She uses methods that encourage practical problem solving and clearer thinking.

Susan draws on Client-Centered Therapy to make sessions feel collaborative. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. Mindfulness techniques are offered to reduce reactivity and improve focus in daily life.

She also applies Motivational Interviewing to support people who want to make a change but feel stuck. Solution-Focused Therapy helps identify small, workable steps that move a person toward their goals. These approaches are used together in ways that fit each person’s needs.

Susan works as a South Carolina licensed independent social worker-consumer provider (SC LISW-CP) and holds a Virginia Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential (VA LCSW). She prefers live video or phone sessions and asks people to confirm current session options when they schedule. Taking the first step can feel hard, and she aims to provide steady support through that process.
