About Susan
Susan Rhodes is a licensed clinical social worker with two decades of experience in mental health and a practice rooted in practical, person-focused care.
Background and approach
As a LICSW and LCSW practicing in Texas, she draws on a broad professional background across settings to craft individualized treatment plans that align with each person’s pace and goals. She is known for a direct yet compassionate manner, combining clinical knowledge with personal insight to help clients begin and sustain healing.
Her work emphasizes actionable steps - from personal inventories to strategies that support recovery and connections to community resources. She commonly helps people navigate grief, depression, addiction, relationship concerns, anxiety, and a range of life transitions, encouraging openness to change and exploration of how patterns influence relationships.
Outside of clinical work she pursues endurance training, creative projects, and community involvement, reflecting her commitment to growth and resilience both personally and professionally.
Therapeutic Approaches and How They Work Online
Susan commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy into her online practice. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors into more constructive patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and many day-to-day coping challenges. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and collaboration, creating space for clients to explore their experience at their own pace while the therapist supports insight and self-directed change.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She works together with clients to match methods to their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds so the plan reflects what actually helps the individual move forward.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and choose a communication style that feels most comfortable, while allowing licensed professionals to apply CBT and person-centered techniques effectively across formats.
