About Susan

Susan Domingue is a licensed professional counselor with 13 years of experience practicing in Louisiana. She focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, depression, parenting, and relationship concerns. Susan uses straightforward techniques so people can start making small changes right away.

Her work often centers on everyday struggles like sleep problems, coping with life changes, and addictive behaviors. She also addresses issues such as trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, and feelings of isolation or loneliness.

Background and approach

Susan explains skills clearly and helps clients try them between sessions. Susan often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy during sessions. These methods guide clients in spotting unhelpful patterns, building emotional skills, and setting concrete goals.

She keeps sessions focused and practical so clients leave with something usable. Many people seek her help for parenting stress, family tensions, and communication problems. She also supports those dealing with panic or phobias, body image worries, caregiver stress, and midlife questions.

Susan aims to create a calm, respectful space where clients can talk and experiment with new ways of handling problems. Her Louisiana license is LA LPC 9033. Conversations are in English and she uses familiar, plain language so parents and individuals can understand next steps.

For those who prefer remote options, she offers several session formats to fit different needs.

Evidence-Based Tools for Online Support

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people notice thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and then try small experiments to change them. It often helps with anxiety, panic attacks, phobias, sleep problems, and depressive symptoms.

DBT, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaches emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clear communication skills. It is useful for managing strong emotions, impulsivity, relationship conflict, and high-stress moments.

Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on strengths and on what a person wants to see changed. Sessions focus on small, concrete steps and goals to move toward those outcomes quickly.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and daily life. That choice can shift over time as people try tools and notice what helps most.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to keep regular sessions, practice skills between meetings, and access care without travel. Licensed professionals can adapt the same practical methods used in person to these remote formats so clients can continue progress from home.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
