About Susan
Susan Scott is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 13 years of clinical experience. She works with people who are dealing with relationship strain, family conflict, parenting stress, anger, depression, and the ups and downs of life changes. Sessions are conversational and practical, focusing on what is happening now and what can change next.
Susan uses familiar therapy methods rather than jargon. She draws from client-centered work to listen and validate what matters to each person. She also uses cognitive behavioral strategies to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors between sessions.
Her approach includes skills from dialectical behavior therapy to manage intense emotions and improve day-to-day coping. Emotionally-focused ideas guide conversations about attachment and the ways people connect or drift apart. Motivational interviewing supports people who feel stuck and want to move toward clearer goals.
In practice she helps people set small, achievable steps. That might mean learning ways to notice anger before it grows, practicing communication skills in tense moments, or planning realistic changes at work or home. The focus is on concrete tools to reduce reactivity and rebuild trust where it has frayed.
Susan’s background includes work across relationship and family concerns as well as caregiver stress and burnout. She offers straightforward guidance, teaches practical strategies, and checks in on progress over time.
How sessions work
How her approaches work for online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the person feels heard and understood; online sessions use that same conversational style to clarify values and immediate concerns. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) targets specific thoughts and behaviors, so online appointments often include homework and simple exercises to practice between sessions. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) provides skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance that can be taught and rehearsed during remote sessions.Choosing an approach is a collaborative step. The therapist and client review goals, try methods, and adjust as they learn what helps. Susan uses short check-ins to see what works and alters the plan based on progress and preference rather than sticking to a fixed method.
Session formats and scheduling details should be confirmed before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people practice communication skills in real time between work or caregiving tasks. Ask about the available session types when you complete the matching questionnaire so you can pick what fits your routine.
