About Susan
Susan Land is a licensed clinical social worker who brings practical support to people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, depression, trauma, and major life changes. She works alongside clients to sort through what feels overwhelming and to find manageable next steps. Her aim is to make therapy a collaborative process that fits real life.
With more than 40 years of clinical experience, Susan draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people untangle complicated feelings and patterns. She listens for how past experiences affect current relationships and coping habits, then helps clients try new ways of responding. This can look like focused conversations, experimenting with small behavior changes, and building clearer communication skills.
Susan also addresses concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, codependency, and commitment worries. She supports people dealing with caregiver stress, blended family dynamics, aging and geriatric questions, chronic illness or pain, and dissociation. Divorce, separation, and the emotional aftermath of loss are part of her experience as well.
People affected by natural or human-caused disasters may find it helpful to talk through what happened and how it continues to affect daily life. Susan helps people name their reactions and establish short-term coping plans that make day-to-day functioning easier.
Sessions are conducted in English and reflect a practical, step-by-step approach. To begin, prospective clients are invited to complete the intake steps and schedule a session when ready.
How therapeutic methods translate to online care
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques often include approaches that help people change unhelpful patterns and manage strong feelings. One common approach focuses on identifying and changing behavioral patterns and routines; it helps with anxiety, depression, and day-to-day coping by breaking concerns into small, manageable steps. Another approach examines attachment and relationship patterns by exploring how early experiences shape current reactions; this can help improve communication and reduce repeated conflict.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to figure out which methods best match their goals, preferences, and the problems they want to address. That collaboration helps shape short-term plans and longer-term goals together.
The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and reducing travel time so therapy is easier to attend. Online work can make it simpler to have brief check-ins or lengthier sessions without rearranging a day.
