About Susan
Susan Toth is a Licensed Independent Social Worker with Clinical Practice (LISW-CP) in South Carolina and has 16 years of clinical experience. She supports adults dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, addictions, grief, sleep problems, parenting strain, low self-esteem, and career or life changes. Sessions are practical and focused on what clients want to change.
Her approach is collaborative and client-centered. She uses evidence-based methods to help people notice patterns, try new ways of responding, and evaluate what works. Conversations focus on real situations such as workplace tension, repeated arguments at home, or rebuilding after separation.
She commonly draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to unpack thoughts and behaviors linked to mood and anger. Mindfulness practices are used to develop awareness of strong feelings and bodily reactions. Solution-focused work helps set small, achievable steps when a problem feels overwhelming.
Susan has worked with issues that often overlap, like caregiving stress, codependency, impulsivity, and substance use concerns. She also addresses family of origin matters, communication problems, infertility stress, and forgiveness work when these come up in sessions.
Practical skills, clearer communication, and steady routines are regular goals. She asks concrete questions, suggests strategies to try between sessions, and checks progress on what the client cares about. To begin, the directory process starts with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session.
How sessions work
Approaches used online and how they help
Client-centered therapy focuses on the client's concerns and preferences. The therapist listens for what matters most and helps clients set priorities and actions that feel doable. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions; it teaches practical exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and change reactive behaviors. Mindfulness therapy trains simple awareness of breath, body sensations, and emotions so strong reactions can be noticed earlier and handled more calmly.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try strategies, and adjust methods based on what helps. Clients and the therapist check progress together and pick tools that fit the person’s life and aims.
If you plan to use online sessions, confirm the available formats before booking. The practical benefits of remote options include fitting sessions into a workday, having shorter check-in meetings when needed, and avoiding travel time. These features can make consistent work on anger and related issues easier to keep up with alongside everyday commitments.
