About Susan
Susan Ramsey-French is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and relationship struggles. She is based in Florida and brings eight years of clinical experience to her work. Susan works with people who feel overwhelmed by life changes, compassion fatigue, or challenges with self-esteem.
Her style is warm and direct. Sessions focus on practical skills and steady emotional support. She listens closely, helps people name what’s happening, and tries out strategies that fit daily life.
Background and approach
Susan uses evidence-informed methods to reduce symptoms and improve coping. She often draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking patterns. Mindfulness practices are used to ground people when anxiety or intense emotion arise.
For those whose lives have been affected by traumatic events, EMDR is one of the tools she may offer as part of a broader plan. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused work help people set clear goals and take manageable steps forward.
Her work addresses a wide range of concerns including anger, bipolar mood challenges, attachment and abandonment worries, body image, codependency, communication problems, dissociation, domestic violence impacts, and blended family issues. Susan aims to help clients build coping skills, increase self-understanding, and move toward more stable emotional days.
Approaches that translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person’s experience. It helps people feel heard and build their own solutions through a respectful, collaborative relationship. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches concrete tools to reduce anxiety and change unhelpful patterns. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is a trauma-focused approach that can help process distressing memories and reduce their emotional hold when used as part of a broader treatment plan.Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with you about your goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together you can try methods and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful and doable in daily life.
Online formats make ongoing work easier to fit in. Video calls let you use visual cues and more in-depth conversation. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits your day. Live chat and text-based messaging are good for quick updates, coping prompts, or when you prefer written conversations. These options increase flexibility so therapy can continue through busy or changing schedules.
