About Susan

Susan Brown is a licensed psychologist practicing in Florida with two decades of clinical experience. She holds licensure in Pennsylvania (PA Psychologist PS008999L) and Florida (FL Psychologist PY11787) and blends clinical work with organizational perspectives to address stress, anxiety, depression, eating concerns, and career challenges.

Background and approach

Her approach favors evidence-informed methods and practical strategies to help clients develop clearer self-understanding and manage life transitions. She integrates cognitive behavioral techniques with client-centered listening and mindfulness practices to create a collaborative, skills-focused process.

This includes targeted life skills coaching that teaches concrete habits such as goal setting, planning, communication, and progress management. Susan also brings focused experience addressing body image and eating-related issues, working to alleviate the anxiety and depressive patterns that often accompany those concerns.

Over the course of her career she has worked with clients on interpersonal and attachment matters, communication difficulties, and the emotional impacts of separation and workplace stress. Her practice emphasizes practical tools and measurable steps alongside reflective exploration, aiming to help people build satisfying, manageable patterns in their daily lives.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and skill rehearsal; it is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and workplace stress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and collaboration, creating space for clients to explore values and goals while the therapist supports self-directed growth. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and acceptance practices that can reduce reactivity and help with stress, body image concerns, and emotion regulation.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to assess needs, try methods that fit their goals and preferences, and adjust the plan over time so the treatment aligns with what helps most in day-to-day life.

Online formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer flexible ways to engage with therapy from home or work. These options make it easier to fit regular sessions into busy schedules, practice skills between meetings, and maintain continuity of care when geographic or time constraints arise.
