About Susan
Susan Rair Krug is a licensed social worker with two decades of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anger, anxiety, mood shifts, low self-esteem, or struggles with substance use. Susan writes plainly and meets people where they are to help them make workable changes.
She begins by listening to a person’s story and identifying clear problem areas. Sessions emphasize practical skills and short-term goals.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a frequent tool she uses to help people notice how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and to try new responses. Susan also draws from client-centered methods to shape sessions around each person’s pace and priorities. Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck about change, and solution-focused ideas support quick steps toward relief.
Mindfulness practices are offered as simple methods to reduce reactivity and manage stress in daily life. Her approach balances conversation with skill-building. People can expect concrete strategies to practice between meetings and gentle coaching during sessions.
She works to adapt methods to each person’s learning style and circumstances. With experience across substance use and mental health concerns, Susan helps people tackle communication problems, codependency, workplace stress, panic, PTSD, seasonal mood shifts, and social anxiety. She is based in Ohio and provides services in English.

Approaches that translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy places the person’s concerns and goals at the center of sessions. It means the therapist listens closely and follows the pace the person prefers, which helps when someone needs to feel heard before trying new skills.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. In practical terms this often means spotting unhelpful patterns, trying small behavior changes, and practicing new thinking habits to reduce anxiety, anger, or low mood.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention exercises to reduce reactivity and manage stress. These practices can be brief and fit into daily routines to help with overwhelm and emotional ups and downs.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try first. Adjustments are made as progress is tracked and new needs appear.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video works well for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or messaging supports quick check-ins or ongoing written reflection. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work breaks, caregiving schedules, or other busy days.
