About Susan
Susan Urtz is a licensed mental health counselor with 25 years of experience helping people navigate life’s hard moments. She holds LMHC and LCMHC credentials and practices from Florida. Her work often focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, self-esteem, depression, ADHD, addictions, grief, parenting concerns, and anger.
Susan aims for a steady, compassionate presence in sessions. She listens without judgment and helps people sort out what matters most. Conversations are direct and practical so clients can try new ways of coping between meetings.
Background and approach
She uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Mindfulness practices are woven in to help people notice reactions and choose different responses. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas help clarify values and guide everyday choices.
Susan also draws on client-centered and solution-focused approaches to keep work grounded in each person’s goals. That means sessions often move toward small, achievable steps rather than long lists of abstract tasks. She pays attention to life circumstances like caregiving, chronic illness, adoption and blended family issues when those come up.
People who reach out can expect problem-focused planning alongside support for emotional coping. Sessions address practical skills for communication, stress management, and handling strong reactions. The work is collaborative - Susan helps people test what works and adjust plans as needed.

How Susan’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people identify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when hard feelings appear. It’s useful for coping with anxiety, depression, and repeated strong reactions like anger.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and habits and trying different behaviors to change outcomes. This approach often helps with stress, ADHD-related struggles, mood concerns, and practical problem solving.
Finding the right fit is a collaborative process. Susan will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try approaches that match those aims, and adjust methods based on what works. The plan evolves as progress and obstacles become clearer.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and exercises, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat is useful for quick check-ins, and messaging supports brief reflections between meetings. These options make it simpler to maintain continuity and to choose the format that helps clients follow through on the work.
