About Susan
Susan King is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with seven years of experience helping people manage stress and anxiety. She works with individuals who are facing grief, relationship strain, addiction concerns, and major life changes. Her approach aims to make small, steady shifts that ease day-to-day struggles.
She uses clear, relational methods in sessions. Conversations focus on understanding what happened, how it affects current patterns, and what practical steps feel doable.
Background and approach
Susan draws on approaches such as attachment work, cognitive behavioral strategies, and emotion-focused techniques to guide those steps. Sessions often look at communication habits and family patterns that keep problems stuck. Susan helps people recognize control issues, codependent reactions, and attachment wounds so they can try different responses.
She also supports work on self-esteem, anger, sleeping and eating difficulties, and career questions. People bringing trauma, depression, bipolar concerns, or addiction get a paced plan rather than a one-size-fits-all fix. Therapy may include mindfulness exercises, skills from dialectical behavior therapy, and targeted behavior changes that reduce anxiety and improve coping.
Progress is measured in how daily life feels different. Her background includes clinical training and practice in Michigan and personal experience navigating cross-cultural transitions and life stress. Susan emphasizes the partnership in therapy - clients set goals and she helps map ways to reach them.
The work is practical, relational, and focused on helping people move forward.
Online approaches that focus on relationships and coping
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and connection. It helps people understand why they respond a certain way in close relationships and supports trying new ways of reaching out or setting boundaries. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers concrete tools to challenge unhelpful thoughts and build manageable behavior changes for anxiety, mood, and daily functioning. Emotionally-Focused Therapy centers on identifying and shifting emotional responses within relationships and can help with intimacy-related concerns and stronger emotional regulation.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean blending attachment insight with CBT skill-building or adding mindfulness and dialectical behavior techniques where helpful.
Online therapy offers several flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a session fits into a work break. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, skill coaching, or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while sticking with an approach that helps you move forward.
