About Susan
Susan Jacobsen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 28 years of experience. She uses a calm, reflective style that centers clients and draws on mindfulness to help people manage strong feelings such as anger, grief, and anxiety. Susan focuses on trauma, grief and loss, and fertility-related challenges including miscarriage and infant loss.
She also supports people dealing with stress, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, career changes, and compassion fatigue.
Background and approach
She approaches these topics with plain language and steady attention to what a person is feeling in the moment. Her work blends client-centered listening with psychodynamic and Jungian ideas about meaning and personal stories. She often brings mindfulness exercises into sessions to help ground emotions and develop clearer responses during tense moments.
She also uses art-based methods to help people express feelings that are hard to put into words. Susan draws on both professional and personal experience with grief and reproductive loss, which informs how she talks about those losses and plans each session. Sessions aim to make distress more manageable while building ways to cope with recurring reactions such as anger or shame.
Outside of therapy she spends time outdoors in Colorado with family, hiking, paddleboarding, camping, and playing volleyball. She also practices yoga, and she finds that movement and nature support the same calm focus she brings to her clinical work.

Mindful, Client-Focused Care Online
Susan commonly uses client-centered work and mindfulness in online sessions. Client-centered Therapy means the therapist follows the person's lead, listens carefully, and helps people name what matters most. This approach is useful for anger, relationship issues, and life transitions because it prioritizes the person's experience and goals.Mindfulness Therapy brings simple attention practices into conversations. These exercises help people notice physical and emotional signals before they escalate, which can reduce reactive anger and ease anxiety. Together these approaches make a practical pairing: clear listening plus tools to stay present during hard moments.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Susan will talk with each person about their goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. She adjusts pacing and techniques over time based on what feels helpful, and checks in regularly to make sure the plan is working.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for in-depth work, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a short break at work, and live chat or text-based messaging can be useful for brief check-ins or ongoing support between meetings. These options help people keep therapy consistent while fitting it into real life schedules.
