Sus Austill, LCSW

Sus Austill is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) based in Florida with 37 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, ADHD, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, parenting stress, anger, and related issues. She also addresses compassion fatigue and care-related stress and supports people navigating life changes. Sessions are offered in English and Danish and she accepts international clients.

Her background includes long-term lived experience with recovery and decades working across outpatient, residential, and inpatient settings. That mix of personal and professional perspective shapes a practical approach. She favors clear tools over jargon and uses a variety of methods rather than a single framework. Expect conversations that move between problem-solving and listening to the story behind the problem.

Practices she draws on include Client-Centered work, cognitive-behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and narrative approaches. She uses genograms and recovery-informed strategies when helpful. These tools are applied to things like impulsivity, codependency, first responder issues, immigration stress, and caregiver burden.

Sessions focus on concrete steps you can use between meetings as well as space to talk things through. She is experienced with complex issues such as PTSD, moral injury, substance use concerns, and gender dysphoria, and she supports people who feel isolated or marginalized. Cost varies with location and sessions use a cancelable subscription model.

To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site’s online process. This starts a practical, collaborative process to identify what to work on and which tools will help most.
