About Susan
Susan Beck Case is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 30 years of experience who encourages people to seek help when life feels overwhelming. She speaks plainly about stress and anxiety and invites clients to be active in choosing a therapist who feels like a good fit. Susan emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where people can share hard parts of their story.
She asks people to advocate for themselves and to notice whether a therapist feels comfortable and helpful.
Background and approach
If sessions don’t meet expectations, she encourages asking for changes rather than stopping care. Building trust is central to how she works, and she treats honesty and vulnerability with care. Susan draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adjusts her approach to what each person needs in the moment.
Sessions focus on identifying practical steps, managing strong feelings, and learning ways to cope that fit everyday life. She aims to help people facing anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, grief, addictions, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem concerns, career stress, and ADHD-related struggles. In sessions she listens first and then suggests strategies that are straightforward and usable between meetings.
She values collaboration and makes room for clients to set goals and pace. Her approach is grounded in decades of clinical experience in Missouri and shaped by a wish to make a real, positive difference. Susan welcomes English-speaking clients and works with people who need various session formats.
She encourages anyone considering therapy to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session based on their needs.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Evidence-based techniques focus on practical skills people can use between sessions. One approach emphasizes skills for managing anxiety and strong emotions through step-by-step coping strategies and breathing or grounding exercises. This helps when panic, worry, or intense feelings interfere with daily life.Another commonly used approach targets trauma and related symptoms by creating safety, processing difficult memories at a manageable pace, and building skills to handle reminders and triggers. This method aims to reduce overwhelm and increase a sense of control.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and concerns, explain different options, and work with you to choose what feels most useful. Adjustments are made as progress and needs change so care stays practical and goal-oriented.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet without traveling. Video calls let you see and talk in depth, phone sessions can fit a break in the day and need less bandwidth, live chat can be used for quicker check-ins, and text-based messaging supports brief updates or ongoing support between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep steady momentum toward your goals.
