About Susan
Susan Rair Krug is a licensed social worker with 20 years of clinical experience. She holds LCSW and LISW credentials and practices from Ohio. She welcomes people who are looking for practical ways to manage stress, anxiety, mood changes, or problems with substance use.
Her approach starts with listening. She helps people tell their story and points out strengths they can use. She works in a straightforward way, helping clients notice thoughts, feelings, and actions that keep problems going and try small changes that make a difference.
Background and approach
Susan often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people spot unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors. She also draws on client-centered methods to keep the conversation focused on what matters to each person. Motivational Interviewing is used when clients want to change habits related to alcohol or drugs.
She has helped people with panic and social anxiety, workplace stress, codependency, guilt and shame, and seasonal mood shifts. Sessions can include skill building, short experiments to try between meetings, and practical plans for managing cravings or intense feelings. Sessions are offered in English and provided through video, phone, chat, or messaging.
The process begins by sharing what matters to the client, then collaborating on goals and steps that fit daily life.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's perspective and priorities. The therapist listens closely and helps the person set goals that feel right to them, which can guide every online session.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Online sessions can include worksheets, thought records, and short behavioral experiments to try between meetings.
Mindfulness Therapy brings attention to present-moment experience and simple breathing or awareness exercises. These practices are useful for managing anxiety and can be practiced during or after online sessions. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and learning style. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together. Online formats offer practical benefits. Video calls let the therapist and client work face to face when convenient. Phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use video. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, quick coaching, or mood tracking between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules while keeping the focus on real step-by-step change.
