Susan King

Susan King is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who helps people navigate divorce and separation as well as related stresses. She supports concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, relationship pain, parenting strain, addiction, and changes that come with midlife. Her approach is grounded in listening and practical steps rather than jargon.

She draws on seven years of clinical experience and a background in clinical psychology. Susan emphasizes the connection between therapist and client and uses that relationship to guide change. Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful patterns and trying new ways of coping.

Her work blends several counseling styles to match what each person needs. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings. Cognitive behavioral techniques help people notice and change thoughts and behaviors that get in the way.

Emotionally focused and client-centered elements create space to feel and name difficult emotions. Dialectical behavior skills offer concrete tools for managing intense feelings and improving day-to-day functioning. She aims to keep sessions practical and grounded in real life.

Susan also brings personal experience with life transitions and living in another culture. That perspective informs how she talks through loss, identity shifts, and decisions about the future. The goal is to help people move forward with clearer choices and more reliable coping skills.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current reactions and trust. Online sessions using this frame help people notice relational patterns and practice new ways of relating in real time. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions; it offers concrete exercises to test unhelpful beliefs and build different habits. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify, name, and work with strong emotions so they become less overwhelming and more useful for decision making.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then adapt methods as therapy progresses. Clients are invited to give feedback so the plan stays practical and relevant.

Specific session formats were not listed in the profile, so confirm options before booking. Many people find online therapy helpful for fitting sessions into busy schedules, reducing travel time, and keeping momentum between visits. Some formats can make check-ins shorter or easier when work or family routines are tight. The focus is on making therapy usable in everyday life while exploring attachment patterns, changing thoughts, and managing strong emotions.
