About Susan
Dr. Susan Lieberman is a licensed psychologist who uses practical, evidence-informed methods to help people manage anxiety, stress, and difficult life changes. She brings 24 years of experience and a steady, straightforward style to sessions.
Her approach is warm and goal-focused, aimed at helping people find clearer thinking and better daily coping. She combines cognitive behavioral techniques with acceptance-based and attachment-informed ideas. That means she helps people notice thoughts and feelings, decide what matters most, and take small steps that match their values.
Background and approach
Sessions also address how past relationships affect current patterns and emotional responses. Common concerns she addresses include anxiety, depression, sleep problems, mood instability, attention issues, and substance use. She also supports people facing grief, caregiver strain, chronic illness, identity questions, and relationship or intimacy challenges.
Practical skills for emotion regulation and communication are often part of the work. Dr. Lieberman typically adapts tools to each person’s life and routines.
She uses short behavioral experiments, thought-challenging exercises, mindfulness practices, and structured problem-solving. The aim is to build daily habits that reduce distress and improve functioning. She works with adults from different backgrounds and life stages.
Sessions may involve therapy goals, coaching elements, or a mix depending on what the person wants. Dr. Lieberman is based in Kansas and holds the credential KS Psychologist LP 1071.
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Dr. Lieberman often draws from cognitive behavioral therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and mood symptoms. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult feelings without getting stuck, clarify what matters to them, and take small committed steps toward those values. Finding the right approach is collaborative. She discusses goals and preferences with each person, then mixes practical skills, values work, and attachment-focused ideas to match the situation. The plan can shift over time as needs and priorities change. Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and guided exercises, phone sessions can fit into a busy day or use less bandwidth, and messaging or live chat supports brief check-ins or step-by-step coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or health-related schedules, while keeping the focus on building skills and day-to-day progress.Questions people ask
