About Susan

Susan Briggs is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 15 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and depression. She also works with caregiver stress, communication problems, control issues, forgiveness, guilt and shame, loneliness, life purpose, midlife transitions, social anxiety, and women's issues.

Susan uses straightforward conversation to help people sort through what feels most urgent. Sessions are guided by the client's concerns and progress. She draws on client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, motivational interviewing, and narrative ideas when those approaches fit the work.

In the room she listens for patterns that keep problems repeating. Then she helps people try different ways of thinking, speaking, and acting. That can mean practicing specific skills, testing new behaviors between sessions, or reworking how a person tells their own story.

Susan emphasizes practical steps alongside reflection. She helps with communication skills, managing anxiety, coping after trauma, and rebuilding confidence. Sessions move at a pace set by the person seeking help.

To begin, readers are asked to follow the site sign-up flow and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

Sheet 2

How her approaches are used in online sessions

Susan often uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so a person can clarify what matters to them. It helps when someone needs a nonjudgmental space to speak and make decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills for changing unhelpful patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress management.

She also incorporates elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy when skills training is helpful. DBT-based skills teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Together these approaches give both reflective conversation and concrete strategies to try between sessions. Finding the right mix is a collaborative process; the therapist works with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences.

The original biography does not list the exact session formats offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists and licensed professionals generally adapt pacing and exercises so practical tools can be practiced in daily life.
