About Susan
Susan King is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with seven years of clinical experience based in Michigan. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, and substance use concerns. She also supports those facing life transitions, parenting challenges, sleep and eating concerns, and issues around intimacy and self‑esteem.
Susan uses straightforward, practical methods to identify thoughts and habits that keep problems going. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try different ways of responding. She also integrates attachment‑based ideas and client‑centered work to focus on how relationships and personal history affect current patterns.
In sessions she breaks problems into small, manageable steps. That can mean tracking patterns between thoughts, feelings, and actions, practicing new communication skills, or learning concrete coping strategies for anxiety and anger. She explains tools clearly and checks in on what is working for each person.
Susan has experience supporting people through trauma, abuse, divorce and separation, family conflict, and major life changes. She pays attention to issues like abandonment, codependency, and control problems when they come up. Her style aims to be practical and relationship focused rather than theoretical.
To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. Payment uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and session costs vary by location.
How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
CBT focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online sessions using CBT tend to be structured and skills oriented, with clear goals and practical exercises for managing anxiety, depression, and unhelpful habits.Attachment‑based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. In an online setting this approach can help people notice how they relate to partners, family, and friends, and practice new ways of connecting and setting boundaries.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try methods that fit the problem, and adjust the plan based on what helps. That means goals, pacing, and homework are decided together rather than fixed in advance.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, offer shorter check‑ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also allow practical skill practice between sessions to reinforce what was learned.
