About Susan
Dr. Susan Lieberman is a KS Psychologist LP (Kansas Psychologist license) with 24 years of experience. She focuses on concerns such as depression, anxiety, stress, and life transitions. She also works with issues like ADHD, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and compassion fatigue.
Her approach uses straightforward, evidence-informed methods. She leans on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and client-centered techniques when these fit a person's needs.
In sessions she helps people sort what is happening now and what patterns keep repeating. She guides practical steps to try new responses, build routines that support sleep and mood, and improve communication. She also addresses complex stressors such as chronic illness, caregiver strain, addictions, and workplace pressures.
Dr. Lieberman has worked with people facing adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, and blended family challenges. She helps clients manage co-occurring conditions and navigate sudden life changes or loss. Her work includes supporting sexual and gender minority clients through issues tied to identity and relationships.
She describes therapy as a collaborative process. Initial meetings focus on clear goals and simple strategies to practice between sessions. Over time the work aims to reduce distressing symptoms and increase reliable ways of coping and relating.
How her approaches translate to online work
Dr. Lieberman commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thought patterns and to build concrete behavior changes. CBT sessions focus on homework-style practice, short experiments, and step-by-step skills to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or manage mood. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and choose values-based actions despite them, which can be useful for chronic stress and grief. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relational patterns and helps people recognize how past connections affect current relationships and intimacy.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss the methods above with clients and decide together which fits best based on goals and what the person prefers. That collaborative planning helps set measurable goals and clear practice tasks between sessions.
The specific session formats offered are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or medical appointments. They can allow shorter check-ins when needed, remove travel time, and help someone continue regular sessions during life transitions. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and ACT exercises to work well in remote meetings and follow-up exercises.
