About Sus
Sus Austill is a licensed clinical social worker with 37 years of experience. She brings a calm, straightforward style to sessions and focuses on Anxiety among other concerns. She offers practical support, tools for coping, and space to tell difficult stories.
She has long experience with substance use and recovery and draws on that background when addiction is part of a person's life. She also works with trauma, grief, ADHD, depression, and issues around identity and belonging.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to address immediate stress and build day-to-day strategies that help people feel steadier. Her approach mixes client-centered care with cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices. That means the conversation is shaped by what matters to the person sitting across from her, while also teaching concrete ways to change thoughts, manage worry, and practice grounding skills.
Over decades Sus has worked in outpatient, residential, and inpatient settings. She has supported people through crisis stabilization and long-term recovery. That experience informs how she responds to complex situations and sudden life changes.
She provides services in English and Danish and accepts international clients. Sessions can include talking, skill-building exercises, genogram work looking at family patterns, and narrative approaches that help people reframe their stories. The goal is steady progress, not overnight fixes.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's priorities and experience. In an online session the therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and asks questions that help clarify goals and next steps. This approach is useful when someone needs a respectful space to make sense of hard experiences.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, gives clear tools to manage worry and change unhelpful thought patterns. Online CBT sessions can include brief skill demonstrations, thought records, and homework between meetings to practice new ways of responding to anxiety and stress.
Mindfulness therapy introduces simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity. These exercises can be guided in a live video call or reinforced through short messages or audio prompts shared between sessions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the person to try methods, see what helps, and adjust plans based on goals and preferences rather than insisting on a single technique.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls are useful for full conversation and demonstrations, phone sessions require less bandwidth, and text-based messaging or live chat allow quick check-ins or shorter reflections. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, and busy days while still focusing on steady, usable progress.
