About Susie
Dr. Susie Stubbs is a Maryland-licensed clinician with an MD and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) credential and 15 years of experience. She uses a straightforward, respectful style that centers each person's own strengths and goals.
She aims to make the first step toward change feel doable and supported. She blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques. That means she listens to understand each person's story, then helps them test new ways of thinking and behaving.
Background and approach
The focus is practical change for concerns like stress, anxiety, and anger. Dr. Stubbs has worked with people facing career challenges and major life transitions.
She also supports those navigating grief, trauma and abuse, relationship strain, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. She offers coaching-style support for professionals dealing with workplace stress and compassion fatigue. Her approach to addictions and mood disorders such as bipolar and depression is grounded in building routines and coping skills that fit daily life.
She also addresses sleep and eating concerns, ADHD-related struggles, and questions related to LGBT identity in a collaborative way. Sessions aim to identify small, manageable steps that lead to clearer thinking and steadier behavior over time. Dr.
Stubbs emphasizes teamwork in therapy and helps people craft realistic plans for change. To begin, she suggests a simple intake and planning conversation so therapy can focus on what matters most to the individual.

How client-centered and CBT approaches work online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building on each person's strengths. In practice this means the therapist spends time understanding the person's goals and priorities, then reflects and asks questions that help the person make sense of their experience.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors influence feelings. Sessions often include straightforward exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and to try new behaviors that reduce stress, anxiety, or anger.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about their needs, goals, and preferences, and together they will decide what techniques to try and when to adjust the plan.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video allows face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat works for brief check-ins, and messaging is useful for ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule care around work, family, and daily life while keeping the focus on practical steps and progress.
