About Susan
Susan Hull is a licensed independent social worker with 17 years of experience helping peoplemanage stress, anxiety, depression, and the fallout from trauma and loss. She meets people where they are and focuses on clear, practical steps they can use right away. She uses approaches that help people understand their attachment patterns and how those patterns shape relationships.
Susan also draws on cognitive behavioral strategies to identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with more realistic alternatives.
Background and approach
Mindfulness skills and dialectical behavior ideas appear in sessions to build tolerance for strong emotions and improve day-to-day coping. Many clients come with grief, caregiver strain, or struggles after medical or life changes. She also works with people coping with addiction, codependency, panic, and the long shadows of neglect or abandonment.
Susan pays attention to how identity and life roles affect mood and self-worth, including work with LGBT concerns and issues faced by veterans and first responders. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. Susan helps people name their most pressing problems, try small experiments between sessions, and track what changes.
She aims to make therapy understandable and useful, not abstract. Clients can expect a calm, steady presence and practical tools for managing emotions. Over time the work focuses on building new patterns of thinking and relating so everyday life feels more manageable.
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current connections and patterns. Online work can use conversations and reflective exercises to notice attachment responses and try different ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to shift unhelpful thinking and behaviors. In remote sessions clients often practice thought records, behavioral experiments, and activity scheduling with the therapist's guidance.Choosing the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try approaches together. That collaborative process helps tailor which methods are emphasized and what homework or practices will be most useful between visits.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video lets people use visual cues during discussions. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Messaging or live chat can support quick check-ins, skill practice, or brief progress notes between full sessions, offering flexibility while maintaining continuity of care.
