About Susan

Susan Huerta is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 15 years of clinical experience supporting people through significant life transitions and emotional struggles.

Background and approach

She draws on a range of therapeutic methods including cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and EMDR to tailor interventions for issues such as depression, anxiety, grief, and addiction. Her work often addresses related challenges like communication difficulties, low self-esteem, and feelings of isolation.

In practice she emphasizes a collaborative, respectful stance that helps clients build resilience and practical coping skills. Susan brings particular attention to stress from caregiving, chronic illness or pain, blended family dynamics, and end-of-life concerns, while also addressing anger, trauma, relationship problems, and career-related stressors.

She helps clients explore values, strengthen self-worth, and develop clearer paths forward. Sessions focus on individualized goals and skill-building, with the aim of improving daily functioning and emotional wellbeing.

Susan offers a supportive environment that encourages reflection, problem solving, and steady progress toward meaningful change.

Approaches for Online Healing and Skills Building

Susan commonly integrates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) in online work; CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning, while ACT emphasizes clarifying values and building psychological flexibility to cope with difficult emotions. She also uses client-centered techniques that prioritize the client’s perspective and foster a supportive, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to explore which methods best match their goals, preferences, and life situation, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds to keep treatment aligned with what matters most to the client.

Online sessions are available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to maximize flexibility and access. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, manage care from home, and maintain continuity of support across different life demands while using licensed professionals to guide skill development and emotional work.
