About Susan
Susan Hull is an Ohio licensed independent social worker (LISW) with 17 years of clinical experience helping adults manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and addiction. She focuses on practical strategies and direct conversation to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that get in the way.
Susan uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside attachment-informed and client-centered methods. She works with people facing trauma and abuse, caregiver strain, mood disorders, and issues tied to self-esteem and relationships. Her practice also includes support for first responders, veterans, and people coping with cancer or end-of-life concerns.
Sessions focus on clear steps a person can try between meetings. That can include tracking thoughts and moods, practicing new ways of reacting, and building routines that reduce overwhelm. She also addresses relational patterns such as abandonment and codependency by looking at how early attachment experiences shape current behavior.
Susan integrates techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness to help manage intense emotions and improve day-to-day functioning. She explains skills in plain terms and practices them in session so people feel ready to use them outside the room.
The approach is goal-oriented and conversational. Susan helps people set reasonable short-term goals while also attending to deeper patterns that keep problems returning. Practical problem solving and steady skill building are central to her work.
How Susan integrates CBT and attachment work online
Online sessions with Susan draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in clear, practical ways. CBT is used to identify and change thinking patterns and behaviors that increase anxiety or depression, often through tracking thoughts, testing assumptions, and practicing new responses. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns and how early connections influence current responses, which can help with abandonment concerns, communication problems, and codependency.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Susan collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. She explains options and tries small experiments so people can see what helps before committing to a particular focus.
