About Susan
Susan LeClair is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Connecticut with 22 years of experience. She has spent her career helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, trauma, or big life changes. Her work includes support for parenting concerns, anger, LGBT issues, and mood conditions such as depression and bipolar disorder.
Susan commonly responds to crisis situations and to people coping with loss, divorce, or domestic violence. She also assists those facing adoption and foster care questions, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and career transitions. Her practice addresses intimacy and communication problems, attachment and abandonment concerns, and struggles with self-esteem or body image.
Her stated approach centers on practical, goal-focused work rather than long, open-ended therapy. Susan uses Solution-Focused Therapy to identify small, concrete steps that move people toward goals. Sessions focus on what is working now and how to build on it, with clear short-term objectives.
She presents herself as direct and nonjudgmental, and she says she will refer someone elsewhere if her services are not a good fit. The listing notes experience with individuals and with relational issues involving couples and families, while keeping the focus on each person’s needs.
People who want straightforward problem-solving and clear action plans may find this style useful. The practice is based in Connecticut and sessions are conducted in English. If a person wants to begin, they are invited to use the site’s matching and scheduling tools to set up a first appointment.
How sessions work
Solution-focused work and online sessions
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical steps and current strengths. It asks what is already working and builds quick, achievable goals to reduce stress, manage anger, and improve communication. This approach is useful for people who want clear, short-term gains rather than long open-ended therapy.Susan pairs that focus with direct, problem-solving conversations that prioritize concrete actions. She and the client collaborate to decide which techniques to try and how to measure progress. Finding the best approach is part of the first sessions, and she will adjust methods to match the person’s needs and goals.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove the need to travel to an office. Working online can also let a person use quieter surroundings or avoid being on camera if that helps them focus. Licensed professionals, including therapists using solution-focused methods, often adapt these practical benefits to each person’s situation.
