About Susan
Susan Jentoft is a licensed professional counselor with 25 years of clinical experience. She practices in Mississippi and helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, and life transitions. Susan focuses on clear, practical steps that clients can use right away.
Her sessions are straightforward and interaction-based. She listens first, then helps people name what matters and set small, doable goals. Common topics include relationship and communication problems, parenting strain, work-related stress, and coping after loss.
Background and approach
Susan blends several approaches to match each person’s needs. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and ACT ideas to clarify values and committed actions. Mindfulness tools and emotionally-focused work help people regulate strong feelings and improve connection with others.
She also supports people facing addictions, eating or sleeping problems, ADHD-related challenges, and career or identity shifts. Additional focus areas include aging and geriatric issues, body image, cancer-related concerns, and recovery from trauma or abuse. Sessions can include skill practice, coaching-style guidance, and focused conversations about managing anger or impulsive reactions.
The aim is steady progress through real-world strategies and ongoing feedback. People looking for practical help with daily stressors and deeper emotional work often find this approach helpful.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take small actions in line with those values. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and situations where someone wants clearer direction in life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and homework. It often helps with depression, anxiety, anger, and sleep or eating difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental connection that helps people feel heard while they work toward change.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify which methods fit the client's goals and preferences. Together they decide whether to emphasize skill-building, values work, or emotionally-focused exploration as sessions move forward.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen-sharing for exercises, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, coaching-style guidance, or when someone prefers written communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to continue work during life transitions.
