About Susan
Dr. Susan Sult greets readers as an experienced Florida psychologist with a calm, straightforward approach. She has 35 years of clinical experience and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, and a wide range of other life challenges.
Her first priority is finding practical ways to reduce distress and restore day-to-day functioning. In sessions she uses clear, structured methods that teach skills and habits people can use between meetings.
Background and approach
She emphasizes collaboration - helping clients set realistic goals and showing the techniques that support those goals. People can expect concrete tools for managing emotions, improving communication, and coping with change. Her work also addresses trauma, mood shifts such as bipolar experiences, sleeping and eating struggles, attention concerns, grief, and chronic illness or pain.
She supports those dealing with identity and relationship questions, including issues relevant to LGBT clients and intimacy-related concerns. Her additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, codependency, and life transitions such as divorce and blended family dynamics. Dr.
Sult blends several evidence-based approaches to match each person’s needs. She keeps sessions practical and goal-oriented while also allowing space to process difficult memories when needed. Outside of practice she enjoys horseback riding, quilting, and cooking, and values time with family and friends.
Dr. Sult holds the credential FL Psychologist PY3854 and practices in Florida. She offers a calm, experienced presence for people seeking steady, skills-focused therapy.
Online approaches for skills and emotional change
Dr. Sult commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing new, more helpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety and low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills to manage strong feelings and relationship stress.She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas when relationships and attachment wounds are central. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name and understand core emotions in close relationships and practice new ways of connecting and communicating.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before, then tailor methods to fit those needs. That process may combine skill training, behavioral experiments, and focused emotional work over time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and practice communication; phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a work break; chat and messaging offer shorter check-ins, skill coaching, and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to match therapy to a person’s schedule and daily life.
