About Susan

Susan Hancock is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, anger, and depression. She writes plainly and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Her style is conversational and down-to-earth, which can help when therapy feels unfamiliar or overwhelming.

Susan draws on eight years of clinical experience and a master’s degree in Counseling. She aims to build a trusting, straightforward working relationship and to design plans that fit each person’s life. She also brings experience supporting people through divorce and separation and the challenges that follow.

She has worked with people managing caregiver strain and the impacts of chronic pain, illness, or disability. Her background includes helping those who feel isolated, ashamed, or stuck, and she supports people working on self-love and women’s issues.

Susan has personal and professional experience related to autism and caregivers, and she mentions having two adult sons on the autism spectrum. That perspective informs how she talks about supports and practical strategies for neurodivergent individuals and their families.

In sessions she focuses on identifying clear goals, teaching straightforward coping skills, and checking in on progress. The aim is steady, manageable change rather than quick fixes. She encourages clients to set realistic steps they can use between sessions.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Susan uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques delivered in plain language. One common approach she emphasizes is skill-based coping work, which teaches concrete strategies for managing anxiety, anger, and stress in everyday moments. These are practical tools clients can practice between sessions to reduce overwhelm and improve mood.

Another focus is problem-focused planning for relationship and life transitions, including divorce and separation. This involves breaking problems into manageable steps, setting priorities, and building routines that support emotional recovery and decision-making during change.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist and client will review goals, try methods that make sense for the situation, and adjust plans based on what works. Susan aims to match techniques to each person’s needs and preferences rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and keeping momentum between appointments. Online work can make it easier to connect from different locations and to maintain consistency during life transitions.
