About Susan
Dr. Susan Frauenholtz is a licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of experience. She holds an Iowa Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) credential and a Utah Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) credential. She helps with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, coping with life changes, addictions, relationship and family concerns, and several mood and behavioral challenges.
Her work is practical and goal-focused. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice unhelpful thoughts and habits and try different responses. She also draws on client-centered methods, motivational interviewing, narrative techniques, and solution-focused strategies depending on the issue.
Clients meet with her to talk through specific problems such as sleep and eating disruptions, parenting strain, career stress, or feeling overwhelmed by caregiving and cancer-related stress. She also addresses concerns like ADHD, bipolar disorder, seasonal affective disorder, and compassion fatigue alongside mood issues such as depression and anxiety.
Sessions typically look at current patterns, test small changes, and build realistic tools for everyday life. She helps people set concrete goals, track what works, and adjust approaches when needed. The focus is on usable steps rather than long explanations.

How Cognitive Behavioral and Client-Centered Approaches Work Online
CBT focuses on identifying specific thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Online sessions using CBT often involve setting concrete goals, trying small behavioral experiments between sessions, and tracking progress with simple tools. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening, reflection, and building on a person's strengths to clarify goals and values. Motivational interviewing helps when people feel stuck or unsure about change by exploring ambivalence and supporting commitment.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and choose or combine methods that fit the client's situation. That choice is collaborative and may change as progress is tracked.
The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier and help fit sessions into busy lives. It can allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited, reduce travel time, and make it simpler to keep regular appointments around work or caregiving demands. Licensed professionals often adapt exercises, homework, and tracking tools to the online setting so therapy stays practical and goal oriented.
