About Susan
Susan Garon is a licensed marriage and family therapist who has practiced for 20 years. She is licensed in Florida and Kentucky and helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, and low self‑esteem. Her style is respectful and direct, aimed at practical change.
Susan shapes conversations and plans around each person's situation. She listens first, then suggests manageable steps to try between sessions. People can expect clear goals and guidance rather than long, abstract talks.
Background and approach
Her background includes work with adoption and foster care concerns, aging and geriatric issues, attachment matters, and autism and Asperger Syndrome. She also addresses blended family challenges, divorce and separation, and veteran and armed forces issues. That experience informs how she tailors support for life transitions.
Susan uses a mix of well‑known approaches such as client‑centered therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior ideas, emotionally focused work, and existential perspectives. She draws on what fits each person's needs rather than following a single method. The goal in sessions is to reduce overwhelming feelings, improve everyday coping, and strengthen important relationships.
Conversations focus on useful skills, clearer thinking patterns, and steps people can take between meetings. Susan aims to support and empower people as they make changes. Sessions are offered in English and conducted online by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.
Practical scheduling and a subscription model are used, with the option to cancel the subscription at any time.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Client‑centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. The therapist follows the person's lead, offers empathy, and helps people find their own solutions to stress and relationship strain.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It teaches practical tools to change unhelpful thinking and reduce anxiety through exercises and real‑life practice.
Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, provides clear skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. It includes techniques for grounding, emotional regulation, and better communication in difficult moments.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, try methods that suit those goals, and adjust the plan over time based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and different needs. Video calls let people see facial cues and do deeper work. Phone sessions work when video isn't possible or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for short check‑ins, quick skills practice, and keeping momentum between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life while working through anxiety and other concerns.
