She focuses on clear, practical conversations that help people manage anger, anxiety, low mood, and relationship challenges.

Susan often helps people who are struggling with stress at work, career decisions, or confidence and motivation.
Background and approach
She also works with concerns such as grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, and mood disorders. Parenting and family-related strains are included among the topics she addresses in sessions. Sessions are shaped around each person’s real-life needs.
Susan listens for what matters most and builds a plan together that fits daily routines and goals. She uses practical strategies rather than jargon, so people leave with things they can try right away. With 30 years of practice in New Jersey, Susan brings steady experience to appointments.
She adapts her approach as a person’s situation changes, adding new ideas or returning to what has worked before. Many clients appreciate straightforward guidance and a calm, supportive presence. People who reach out are encouraged to start with a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session that fits their week.

Evidence-based methods and flexible online care
Two commonly used evidence-based techniques involve learning new skills to change unhelpful patterns and using focused problem-solving for immediate concerns. Skill-based work teaches practical ways to manage strong emotions like anger and anxiety, and helps with impulse control and healthier communication. Problem-solving approaches break down stressful situations into small steps to reduce overwhelm and improve decision-making.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit daily life, and tweak strategies over time so the work stays relevant and useful. Clients help decide what feels most helpful and when to adjust the plan.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more accessible. Video can be useful for face-to-face conversation, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, chat and text are good for brief check-ins or ongoing support. These options let people fit sessions into work breaks, travel days, or busy family schedules.
