About Susan
Susan Bramer is a Florida-licensed clinical social worker with twenty years of experience. She helps people manage stress and anxiety, navigate family problems, and cope with grief and life changes. She believes clients bring strengths and knowledge about their own lives.
That perspective guides how she approaches therapy and supports change. In sessions she listens for practical patterns that keep worries or low mood going. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts and actions affect feelings.
Background and approach
Conversations include small experiments to try between sessions and new ways to respond to old habits. Susan keeps language direct and down-to-earth. She talks through real situations and offers steps people can use right away.
She focuses on solvable parts of a problem, like communication habits, daily routines, or unhelpful thinking. Over time she helps people build tools for handling career stress, caregiving strain, chronic illness challenges, and separation or loss. She also addresses issues such as attachment and guilt that often come up alongside anxiety and depression.
Sessions are practical and paced to fit each person’s needs. Clients meet with a clinician who aims to collaborate on clear goals and measurable changes. The work combines short-term skills with attention to longer patterns that affect relationships and daily life.
CBT-Informed Care Online and Practical Support
Susan uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and daily habits that feed anxiety and low mood. CBT helps people spot patterns, test new reactions, and practice small behavioral changes that reduce worry and improve mood.Her approach is collaborative. She will work with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs and goals. Together they set clear, manageable steps and review progress over time to adjust the plan as needed.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to match what works best for the person’s schedule and circumstances. Video calls let you work face-to-face for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be simpler when internet bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is preferred. Live chat and text messaging support ongoing contact and quick check-ins between longer sessions.
These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, handle caregiving responsibilities, or keep therapy consistent when travel or work changes. The focus is on practical skills and steady progress, delivered in a format that suits each person.
