About Susan
Susan Bramer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with 20 years of experience. She works with people who are managing stress, anxiety, family concerns, grief, career pressures, and depression. Sessions are offered in English and she does not take international clients.
Susan frames therapy as practical work. She focuses on noticing thoughts and habits that cause distress and trying different responses. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a main approach to help people test unhelpful thinking and change patterns that get in the way of daily life.
Her background includes two decades of helping adults handle life transitions, caregiver strain, and relationship problems tied to family of origin. She also addresses issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, chronic illness and pain, and end-of-life concerns. Susan regularly supports people dealing with guilt, shame, and isolation.
In sessions she aims for clear goals and step-by-step work. That might include identifying stressful thought patterns, practicing new behavior strategies, and reviewing what changed between meetings. The focus is on small, practical steps that can be used between sessions.
People who choose her often want down-to-earth tools and a structured approach. She asks about current challenges and priorities, then adapts session pacing and tasks to what the person can manage. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial meeting.
How CBT and online sessions are used together
CBT focuses on spotting patterns of thinking and testing small behavior changes to see what helps. It involves tracking thoughts, trying new coping strategies, and reviewing results in follow-up sessions. This approach is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, grief, and practical problems at work or in relationships.Sessions also emphasize clear goals and step-by-step plans. The therapist will work with the client to choose which techniques to try and adjust them based on what is most useful. Figuring out the right mix of tools is a collaborative process between therapist and client.
The therapist's online session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use worksheets and homework between meetings and keep the practical momentum going toward their goals.
