About Susan
Susan Josephson is a Florida LMHC with 25 years of professional experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, and depression. She also addresses issues related to addictions, grief, self-esteem, and life changes.
Susan uses practical, person-focused methods in sessions. She listens to current concerns and helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. She then suggests small, doable ways to test different responses and cope with daily pressures.
Her work often includes setting clear goals and tracking progress. Conversations are direct and focused on what to try between sessions. She pays attention to how relationships and life roles shape stress and coping.
Susan integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques alongside client-centered practices. That means she may help identify thinking patterns and also give space for the person to lead the conversation. The focus is on concrete skills people can use right away, such as managing anxious moments or planning steps during bereavement.
She brings experience with a wide range of concerns, including caregiving stress, attachment and blended family issues, post-traumatic stress, and complications from chronic or terminal illness. Susan also addresses multicultural issues and supports people with LGBT concerns. Her approach is steady and practical, aimed at helping people make manageable changes over time.
How Susan Uses CBT and Client-Centered Work Online
Susan works with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in straightforward terms: she helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns, then practices new ways of responding. CBT techniques are useful for managing anxiety, depression, and stress by breaking problems into smaller, testable steps.She also uses client-centered methods that let the person lead the conversation while the therapist listens and reflects. This approach supports people who need time to clarify feelings and priorities before trying new strategies. Both approaches focus on practical changes that fit into daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Susan will discuss goals, needs, and preferences with the client and decide together which methods to try. That collaborative process can include trying CBT exercises one week and more open discussion the next, adjusting based on what helps.
