Susan Flynn

Susan Flynn is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) practicing in Illinois. She helps people who are facing major life changes, relationship struggles, and emotional challenges. Her work often focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, and low self-esteem. She presents a calm, steady presence so clients can talk through what matters most to them.

With six years of experience, she commonly supports adults dealing with workplace strain, midlife transitions, and shifting relationships. She pays attention to patterns that come from family of origin and the ways those patterns affect current choices. Susan often works with people processing separation and divorce-related issues and the emotions that follow.

Her sessions aim to be collaborative and non-judgmental. She listens first, then helps clients identify small, practical steps that make daily life easier. The work includes improving communication, managing isolation or loneliness, and addressing feelings like guilt or shame.

Susan uses a mix of approaches tailored to each person’s needs. Techniques include client-centered conversations, cognitive behavioral tools to reframe unhelpful thoughts, and skills drawn from dialectical behavior therapy to manage intense emotions. She may also incorporate elements of the Gottman Method for relationship-focused concerns and motivational interviewing to support readiness for change.

People seeking support around career decisions, parenting strain, aging or hospice-related concerns will find focused attention on those topics. To begin, visitors are invited to confirm current session options before booking and follow the site’s process to start a conversation.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the person feels understood; it helps when someone needs a safe place to sort out feelings and choices. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers concrete exercises to change unhelpful patterns, which is useful for anxiety, low mood, and stress. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) teaches practical emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills to manage intense emotions and improve coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. That means trying strategies, checking what helps, and adjusting plans together as progress is made.

Confirm the session options when you book so you know how appointments are delivered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use behavioral and communication exercises between meetings to practice new skills in real situations. If you have questions about how sessions are scheduled or what to expect, the therapist or the scheduling process will provide current details.
