About Susan

Susan Jentoft is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Mississippi with 25 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, addictions, trauma and abuse, and anger. She also supports people with sleep and eating issues, career pressures, ADHD, and other life changes.

Susan keeps sessions straightforward. She listens, asks practical questions, and helps clients notice patterns that feed frustration and resentment. She uses exercises and discussions to practice new ways of responding rather than relying on old habits. The work is focused on what a client wants to change and the next small step toward that goal.

Her background includes a mix of cognitive and experiential methods. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to clarify values and build committed action. Mindfulness tools are offered to help manage stress and reduce reactivity.

Susan also incorporates emotionally focused work to name feelings and improve communication in close relationships. Motivational interviewing techniques appear when people are weighing change or facing addiction-related struggles. Together these approaches give practical ways to handle anger, rebuild trust, and manage strong emotions.

Clients describe straightforward, skills-based sessions that underline practice between meetings. Susan asks about daily routines and barriers, then suggests short exercises to try between sessions. Her aim is steady progress through clear steps rather than quick fixes.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking committed steps toward those values. Online sessions can use ACT to break down goals into small, doable actions and track progress between meetings.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. In an online setting CBT often uses short activities, thought records, and behavior experiments that clients complete between sessions to test new ways of responding.

Mindfulness-based techniques teach simple awareness and breathing practices to reduce reactivity. These practices can be guided during a session and then repeated by the client during daily life to help manage anger and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels useful. Together they decide which methods to try first and adjust the plan as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when time is tight, and use audio-only meetings when bandwidth is limited. These practical benefits help people practice skills where they live and work without promising a particular service.
