Susan Frey

Susan Frey is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with two decades of clinical experience. She draws on practical, goal-oriented work to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, and life transitions. Her approach is straightforward and focused on helping clients move toward a more satisfying life.

Susan trained in counseling psychology and changed careers after a major life disruption, which shaped how she listens and responds to unexpected change. She commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and will add Acceptance and Commitment Therapy or short-term Solution-Focused Therapy when those fit a person’s needs. Sessions tend to focus on clear goals and step-by-step strategies.

Susan helps people address relationship challenges, communication and commitment issues, and concerns like anger, jealousy, infidelity, or coping with divorce and separation. She also works with addictions and process concerns such as gambling, exercise, or pornography. Her practice notes support for those facing aging and geriatric issues and people who are visually impaired.

Her style is practical and collaborative. She listens for what matters most, then suggests concrete skills and small experiments clients can try between meetings. Susan emphasizes pacing the work to match each person’s situation and resilience.

Based in Pennsylvania, Susan offers therapy in English and accepts international clients. She asks people to pick the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to availability.

How Susan’s approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and big life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, then testing new ways of thinking and acting to reduce symptoms like panic or depression. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on emotions and attachment patterns to improve how people communicate and repair relational wounds.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Susan collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She may start with CBT for practical skill building and add ACT or EFT when emotions, values, or relationship patterns need deeper attention.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available online options before booking. In general, online therapy can make scheduling easier and help sessions fit into busy days. It can also allow shorter check-ins, reduce travel time, and make it simpler to keep continuity during life changes. Licensed professionals, including therapists, use these methods to work on coping skills, communication, relapse prevention for addictions, and planning next steps after separation or divorce.
