About Susan

Susan Resnik is a Florida-licensed therapist with 20 years of clinical experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting challenges, and relationship concerns.

Background and approach

She draws on a variety of evidence-informed methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), to support clients in reducing distress, improving communication, and clarifying life purpose. Her work also addresses codependency, commitment issues, forgiveness, guilt and shame, self-love, and women's and young adult issues.

Resnik favors a collaborative, empathic approach that centers each person's experience and strengths. She blends client-centered care with practical skills from CBT and emotion-focused strategies to help clients build coping tools, shift unhelpful patterns, and deepen self-understanding.

Over two decades she has emphasized both emotional processing and actionable steps that clients can practice between sessions. Sessions aim to balance compassionate listening with clear techniques tailored to individual goals.

Susan holds an LMHC (FL LMHC MH12105) and maintains a practice in Florida, offering a supportive environment for people seeking to move through difficult emotions, strengthen relationships, and pursue greater clarity about their values and direction.

Approaches and Practical Online Therapy Options

Online sessions with Susan often draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors so clients can reduce symptoms and develop practical coping skills; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress. ACT emphasizes values clarification and psychological flexibility, helping people accept difficult emotions while committing to meaningful action in the direction of their goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and she approaches that discovery collaboratively. A therapist and client work together to assess needs, try methods, and adapt techniques over time so the approach matches personal goals and preferences rather than following a predetermined path.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for varying schedules and needs. These formats make it easier to fit regular sessions into busy lives and allow access to licensed professionals from different locations within Florida, while preserving continuity of care when in-person meetings are not practical.
