Susan Urtz, LMHC, LCMHC

Susan Urtz is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with 25 years of experience practicing in Florida. She has spent decades helping adults deal with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, low self-esteem, ADHD, addictions, grief, parenting challenges, and anger. Her work also touches on career concerns, coping with life changes, and caregiver and compassion fatigue issues.

Her approach is practical and down-to-earth. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new responses. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Solution-Focused Therapy appear in her toolbox as ways to clarify values and set small, doable goals.

Susan centers conversations on concrete steps clients can take. Sessions often include talking through recent events, identifying patterns that fuel anger or anxiety, and experimenting with small behavior changes between meetings. She pays attention to family dynamics, adoption and foster care issues, and attachment concerns when these affect current problems.

She has worked with people facing chronic illness, caregiving stress, blended family issues, and major life transitions like divorce or separation. Communication and control issues, codependency, and commitment concerns are among the practical topics she addresses alongside trauma and grief.

Her style is collaborative: she helps people name priorities, choose strategies that fit their lives, and track progress. If someone wants to reduce reactive anger, manage workplace frustration, or rebuild strained relationships, she offers steady clinical experience and a clear focus on doable next steps.
