About Susan
Susan Gerber is a licensed professional clinical counselor with four decades of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and difficult life transitions. She aims to create a calm space where someone can talk through what’s worrying them and begin to find clearer footing.
Gerber works with people facing relationship and intimacy concerns, including issues like infidelity and jealousy. She also supports those struggling with self-esteem, sleep problems, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, and the everyday fallout from grief and loss.
Background and approach
Her approach is straightforward and practical, focused on what helps in daily life. In sessions she invites honest conversation and little judgment. She listens for what matters most to each person and then helps set small, realistic goals.
That might mean practicing new ways to respond to anger, building routines that improve sleep, or trying communication strategies that ease tension with a partner. Susan brings steady experience to her work and respects how hard it can be to start therapy. She encourages people to move at their own pace and to name their priorities early on.
Her style aims to be collaborative so clients feel they have a clear plan. She sees clients in New Mexico and conducts sessions in English. People who prefer flexible scheduling can choose from several session formats that fit different lifestyles and needs.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Susan uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage strong emotions and improve daily functioning. One approach focuses on skills for recognizing and responding to intense feelings like anger and anxiety, teaching practical steps to reduce reactivity and build healthier responses. Another approach emphasizes routines and behavioral changes to improve sleep and mood, working on small habit shifts that add up over time.Finding the right method is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to choose approaches that match their goals, preferences, and the problems they want to address. That means trying something, checking how it feels, and adjusting the plan together until it fits.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging work well for quick check-ins, short coaching-style exchanges, or when scheduling needs to be compact. These options make it easier to fit help into a busy life while keeping the work focused on real, practical changes.
