About Susan
Susan Toth is a licensed independent social worker with clinical practice (LISW-CP) based in South Carolina who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, trauma, and grief. She draws on 16 years of experience to offer steady, practical support when life feels overwhelming. Her work is direct and compassionate, aimed at helping people find clearer ways to cope and move forward.
Susan favors a collaborative style. She listens first, then helps clients set concrete goals.
Background and approach
Sessions often focus on small steps that can change daily routines, reduce distress, and improve communication. She uses straightforward tools rather than abstract theory so people can act between sessions. Her approach blends client-centered care with cognitive behavioral strategies and mindfulness practices.
That mix helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, practice new responses, and build habits that ease anxiety and low mood. Solution-focused techniques are used to identify strengths and quick, practical changes clients can try right away. Susan has spent much of her career supporting people managing caregiver stress, addiction concerns, family of origin issues, and major life transitions.
She also addresses attachment issues, sleep problems, anger, and compassion fatigue. Her background includes work with those facing relationship crises, separation, and fertility-related stress. In sessions she helps clients develop clearer communication, set healthier boundaries, and repair patterns that keep them stuck.
The emphasis is on realistic, manageable change and on building coping skills that last beyond therapy.
How practical therapies work online
Susan uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT often involves tracking moods, testing beliefs, and practicing new responses to reduce anxiety and improve mood.She also draws from mindfulness therapy to teach simple awareness skills. Mindfulness helps clients slow down, notice stress reactions, and choose more helpful responses during tense moments.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative step. The therapist and client discuss goals, try methods, and adjust the plan together when something is not working. Susan aims to match techniques to each person’s needs and day-to-day life.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a lighter option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework, or when typing feels easier than talking.
These formats make it simpler to attend sessions around work, caregiving, or medical appointments, and they let people practice skills in the settings where problems actually occur.
