About Susan
LCSW in California with 15 years of clinical experience, Susan Hallett focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, depression, and helping people cope with life changes. She works with adults who want practical help for emotional strain and shifting circumstances. Sessions are conducted in English and follow a straightforward, problem-focused style.
Susan approaches therapy by recognizing each person as the expert on their story. She highlights existing strengths and uses those strengths to address current challenges. She encourages clear goals and practical steps rather than abstract ideas, so people leave sessions with something to try between meetings.
Her background includes a decade and a half of direct client work in California settings. That experience covers common mood concerns and transitions such as loss, motivation changes, and shifting self-image. Susan draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address symptoms and everyday functioning.
In sessions she listens for patterns that keep problems stuck and then tests small changes to see what helps. She pays attention to communication problems and issues around forgiveness, life purpose, and self-love when those come up. The focus is on building skills that make daily life more manageable.
People who reach out can expect straightforward conversation, goal-setting, and practical coping tools. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session using the site's online options.

How evidence-based techniques are used in online sessions
She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that emphasize skills practice and measurable steps. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying different responses; this helps reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms by changing moment-to-moment reactions. Another helpful method involves building coping strategies and behavioral routines - small, repeatable actions that improve mood and daily functioning when practiced between sessions.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with the client to clarify goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan based on what actually helps. This makes each session a practical experiment rather than a fixed protocol.
Confirm current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins or longer sessions depending on scheduling needs. It also lets people pick times that match work, school, or caregiving obligations so therapy can fit into everyday life.
