About Susan

Susan Beck Case is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with three decades of experience. She welcomes people who are ready to seek support and encourages them to advocate for themselves when choosing a therapist. She emphasizes a trusting, nonjudgmental relationship as the foundation for helpful work together.

Susan asks clients to pay attention to fit. If sessions feel off, she encourages asking about alternatives rather than stopping work altogether.

Background and approach

She sees the therapeutic connection as central and treats clients with respect for their history and their courage in sharing it. Her practice centers on responding to what someone is managing now rather than prioritizing specific modality names. She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and her long experience to tailor the work to each individual.

The focus is practical - helping people get through stressful times, manage anxiety, cope with grief, address sleep problems, or work on self-esteem and life changes. Over 30 years she has met people across a wide age range and gathered a range of skills along the way.

She holds Missouri licensure as LCSW and brings that clinical background to online and remote sessions. She accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. Susan values openness about goals, and she encourages prospective clients to share what matters most to them at the start.

She aims to create a safe space for honest talk and to respond with experienced, steady guidance.

Approaches to Online Care and How They Help

Two common evidence-based approaches she relies on include practical problem-solving methods that focus on current challenges and skill-building for managing symptoms, and talk-based trauma-informed work that helps people process difficult events while keeping emotional safety in mind. Problem-solving work helps with stress, sleep issues, and day-to-day coping. Trauma-informed conversations help with painful memories and the reactions that follow.

She emphasizes that choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Together the client and therapist review goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. The therapist adjusts methods over time so the work fits the person’s needs rather than forcing one fixed technique.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people see facial expressions and build rapport. Phone sessions provide a simpler option when video is not possible. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief check-ins and ongoing support between sessions. These formats make it easier to schedule care around busy family and work life and to continue therapy when in-person visits are impractical.
