About Susan
Susan Wilson is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 24 years of experience practicing in Florida. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship struggles, and self-esteem concerns. Her goal is to offer practical support for everyday challenges and to help people build useful skills.
She describes therapy as a partnership where the client directs the goals and she helps guide the process. Sessions focus on giving clear tools, strategies, and resources that clients can use between meetings.
How Susan works
The tone in sessions is adaptable and down-to-earth to match each person’s needs. Susan has worked across several settings over her career and brings that breadth of experience to her work. She tailors her approach to match a person’s situation rather than using one rigid method.
That flexibility helps when people come with overlapping concerns like stress plus chronic illness or grief plus relationship strain. Her additional focus areas include aging and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, cancer-related concerns, attachment and abandonment issues, autism and Asperger Syndrome, blended family challenges, body image, communication and commitment concerns, and coping after disaster or separation.
She can help people sort priorities and set realistic steps toward change. People who prefer practical, collaborative help may find her style a good fit. She encourages active participation and offers ways to practice new skills between sessions.

Therapeutic approaches and working online
Susan uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on skills and problem solving. One common approach she employs is skills-based work that teaches specific tools for managing anxiety, attention challenges, and stress. This often involves short exercises and practical steps to try between sessions.Another element of her work focuses on relationship and attachment concerns. She helps people identify patterns in communication and commitment, and then practices clearer ways to express needs and set boundaries. This can help with relationship strain and issues tied to abandonment or attachment history.
Finding the right approach is part of the collaboration. She will work with each person to decide which techniques fit best based on goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Clients and the therapist can adjust methods as therapy progresses to keep the work relevant and effective.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and handle brief check-ins between larger meetings. It also lets people choose session styles that match their needs, such as shorter problem-focused visits or longer therapy sessions, once the available formats are confirmed.
