About Susan
Susan Guerra is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with deep experience helping people facing stress and anxiety. She brings a calm, practical approach and focuses on clear steps people can use right away. Her style is compassionate and nonjudgmental, aimed at each person’s real-life needs.
Susan tailors plans to individual situations rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. She offers learning in different ways so clients can pick what helps them use new coping skills.
Background and approach
The work is action-oriented and grounded in everyday routines so changes stick. Her background includes many settings across health and mental health care. That range gives her familiarity with chronic illness, caregiver strain, depression, addiction concerns, trauma and other complex challenges.
She has worked in home health, hospice, psychiatric hospitals, outpatient clinics, residential substance-abuse programs, and women’s shelters. Susan emphasizes straightforward strategies that people can apply between sessions. She supports people through grief, relationship stress, self-esteem struggles, sleep and eating difficulties, and life transitions.
She also helps with anger, career decisions, intimacy concerns, and ADHD-related coping skills. Clients can expect practical tools blended with a warm, client-centered attitude. Sessions focus on identifying achievable steps, building skills, and addressing barriers that get in the way of goals.
Susan aims to help people move toward a healthier, more authentic life.
Approaches you can use in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then focus on actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches practical skills to change them, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating problems. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, respectful relationship where the therapist listens deeply and helps the person find their own path forward.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try methods that fit the person’s needs, and adjust the plan as progress and challenges emerge. Sessions often blend techniques so work feels relevant and helpful.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and interactive skill practice. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in suits the day. Live chat and text-based messaging allow quick reflections, brief exercises, or support between longer sessions. These options increase flexibility and help people stay consistent with their work.
