About Susie
Dr. Susie Stubbs is a Maryland-based clinician who uses a client-centered style alongside cognitive behavioral techniques. She brings 15 years of practical experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and changes at work or in personal life.
She emphasizes teamwork in sessions and treats each person as the expert on their own story. In the therapy room she focuses on clear, practical steps that people can try between sessions. She listens for strengths and skills already present, then helps build on them to reduce worry and improve day-to-day functioning.
Background and approach
Cognitive behavioral strategies are used to notice unhelpful thinking and test small behavior changes. She also supports people facing grief, trauma, relationship and intimacy concerns, addictions, sleeping and eating struggles, and challenges around parenting or career decisions. Sessions can include coaching-style goal setting when a client wants concrete plans for progress.
The work combines short-term tools with attention to long-term patterns. Her background includes clinical work across a range of adult concerns over the past 15 years. She holds an MD and is an LCPC - Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor - and draws on both medical and counseling perspectives when helpful.
This blend informs how she thinks about symptoms and practical supports. People who reach out can expect a calm, collaborative approach. Dr.
Stubbs asks about what matters most, sets realistic steps, and adjusts the plan as needs change. She aims to make therapy feel useful and manageable for busy lives.
How her approaches work online
Client-centered therapy is about listening and following the client's lead. It focuses on the person’s strengths and goals, helping them feel heard and understood while they make changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify patterns of thinking and behavior that feed anxiety and stress, and it uses small experiments to try new responses and reduce symptoms.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will listen to what you want to change, discuss options, and adapt methods to match your goals and preferences. That way the plan fits your life and can be adjusted as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to schedule sessions around work and family time. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and exercises, phone can be useful for lower-bandwidth check-ins, chat allows shorter exchanges during a break, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options let people keep momentum while fitting therapy into their daily routines.
