Susannah Davis

Susannah Davis is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) based in Vermont with ten years in private practice. She creates a warm, relational space where people can talk about what feels hardest. Her style is client-centered and nonjudgmental, focused on helping people manage day-to-day struggles and major life shifts.

She brings over three decades of experience working in schools, therapeutic foster care, and residential settings. That background informs practical skills for supporting anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and parenting challenges. She also helps with relationship strain, self-esteem, body image, and coping after separation or divorce.

Sessions begin by naming clear goals and choosing approaches that fit each person. Techniques cited in her work include cognitive behavioral methods, dialectical behavior ideas, somatic experiencing, mindfulness, narrative work, and self-compassion practices. These are combined to match what a person needs rather than following one fixed method.

Her practice supports adults and adolescents who need help with life transitions, career stress, sleep problems, or anger management. She also offers coaching-style support for people wanting practical steps and clearer routines. International clients may be seen and sessions are conducted in English.

People who choose her tend to want a thoughtful, down-to-earth guide who mixes skills and life experience. Before beginning, clients and Susannah agree on which ways of working will be used so each session stays focused and helpful.

How evidence-based techniques can work online

Susannah integrates several evidence-based techniques into her work. Cognitive behavioral approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and building concrete behavior changes to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or manage panic. Mindfulness and self-compassion practices teach simple exercises for handling hard emotions and easing self-criticism.

She also uses somatic-centered ideas to help people notice how stress shows up in the body and develop skills to calm physical reactions. Narrative techniques help people reframe difficult stories about themselves and find different ways to move forward. These methods are explained in plain terms and chosen based on what a person needs.

Finding the right fit is a collaborative process. The therapist will review goals and preferences, try approaches, and adjust as progress is observed. Clients are invited to give feedback so the work stays useful and grounded in daily life.

The practical benefits of online sessions can include easier scheduling and the ability to fit therapy into work or family routines. Because the profile does not list specific session formats, confirm available options before booking. Online work can make shorter check-ins or weekly meetings simpler to manage and help the therapist and client focus on concrete skills that transfer into everyday situations.
