About Susan
Susan Frey is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 20 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, anger, depression, addictions, grief, eating concerns, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and life changes. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted.
Susan began her path after a life disruption led her to counseling. She holds a master’s degree in counseling psychology from Seton Hall University and a Bachelor of Science from York College of Pennsylvania. Those academic steps preceded a long clinical practice focused on common and complex concerns adults bring to therapy.
Her main clinical tools include cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and short-term solution-focused methods. She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy and the Gottman Method for relationship-related work when relevant. In sessions she helps people identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and practices different responses to them.
Susan often addresses anger by helping clients notice triggers, test unhelpful thinking, and try new coping responses. For addictions and process behaviors she combines practical strategies with goal-focused conversations. When grief, panic, or mood concerns come up she works with clear steps people can try between sessions.
She aims to help people set practical goals and make gradual changes that fit daily life. The emphasis is on straightforward techniques and short-term plans when that suits a person’s needs. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches shape online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It helps people who feel overwhelmed by anger or anxiety to choose actions that align with their values rather than reactive habits.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns, and then tests new behaviors. It is useful for anger that comes from automatic thinking, panic, depression, or workplace stress because it gives concrete skills to practice between sessions.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on emotions and connection in relationships. When relationship strain or communication problems add to anger, EFT-style work can help people understand interaction patterns and try different responses.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Susan will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means trying tools, reviewing what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than following a single script.
