About Susana
Susana (Susie) Hernandez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who helps adults and teens manage stress, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. She focuses on building a trusting relationship so people feel understood and safe enough to work through hard issues. Susie aims to help clients reconnect with a sense of belonging and discover a clearer sense of identity.
Susie centers the counseling relationship first and uses that connection to guide the work. She draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), attachment-based work, and client-centered methods. Sessions often include talking through patterns, practicing new skills, and linking therapy to each person’s values and faith when desired.
People come to Susie for help with anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, parenting strain, relationship problems, and coping with major life transitions. She also supports those dealing with body image, codependency, communication problems, and compassion fatigue. Coping with natural or human-caused disaster is among the concerns she lists.
With five years of professional experience, Susie aims to make therapy straightforward and practical. She encourages clients to try small changes, notice what works, and adjust plans together. Outside of work she enjoys time with family, exercising, and cooking.

Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on what matters most to a person and helps them take small steps toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with major life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches practical skills to shift those patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and problematic habits. Attachment-Based Therapy concentrates on connection and trust, helping people understand how early relationships shape current feelings and patterns in close relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Susie will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will choose techniques and adjust the plan as progress is made, keeping the process collaborative and flexible.
The therapist’s biography does not name specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins during work breaks or between other commitments. Some people prefer shorter or phone-based check-ins when bandwidth or camera use is a concern, while others choose longer video sessions for deeper conversation. Discuss format preferences when scheduling to find what works best for day-to-day routines and goals.
