About SusAnne
LMFT, California, 10 years of clinical experience. SusAnne Sheffield focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, eating concerns, and depression. She also addresses related issues such as attachment and abandonment, body image, caregiver stress, and self-love. Sessions are offered in English.
Shepherded by a decade of practice, SusAnne draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and somatic experiencing to help people notice how thoughts and the body interact. She frames work in plain terms and uses practical steps people can try between sessions. The aim is to help clients manage panic, depressive symptoms, grief, or difficulties after trauma in ways that fit daily life.
SusAnne pays attention to patterns that keep people stuck, including control issues, communication problems, and codependent behaviors. She supports exploration of spiritual concerns when clients bring them up. Her approach includes helping people recognize and shift shame, guilt, and isolation so they can make different choices.
Sessions involve talking through current problems, identifying unhelpful patterns, and practicing strategies for regulation and behavior change. Somatic noticing is offered as a way to connect physical sensations with emotions and to find manageable ways to self-soothe. She explains techniques clearly and encourages small experiments between sessions.
She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. International clients are not currently accepted.

How her approaches translate to remote work
SusAnne uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and somatic experiencing as core tools. Evidence-based techniques focus on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, then practicing concrete skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, or handle panic. Somatic experiencing asks clients to notice bodily sensations tied to emotion and to use gentle grounding or movement to reduce overwhelm. These methods can help with trauma, panic attacks, depression, grief, and body-image concerns.Choosing an approach is collaborative. She will talk with clients about goals, symptom patterns, and what feels doable. Together they decide which techniques to try first and adjust over time based on what works and what doesn’t.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by saving commute time, allowing shorter check-ins during a work break, or removing the need to be on camera if that helps focus. Talk with her during the matching process about scheduling, session length, and any practical needs so sessions can fit into everyday routines.
