Susan Galewaler, LPC - Therapist in Texas

About Susan

Susan Galewaler is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 30 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. She practices in Texas and brings long experience working with family issues and trauma. Her approach is straightforward and focused on practical change.

She aims to make the first step easier for worried parents and caregivers. Susan has spent decades supporting families facing custody questions and other difficult transitions.

Background and approach

She co-authored an educational book used by family therapists for assessing families and children in custody situations. That hands-on background informs how she listens for patterns that affect parents and kids. In sessions she prioritizes an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be shared.

Conversations are paced to match what each person needs, with room for emotional moments and clear next steps. She helps clients name problems and try concrete adjustments at home. Her work covers a range of concerns including abandonment and attachment issues, caregiver stress, communication problems, divorce and separation, and chronic illness or pain.

She also addresses guilt, shame, impulsivity, loneliness, life purpose, and men's issues. Susan offers therapy in English and accepts international clients. She uses formats like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging.

Getting started means answering a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that works for the family.

Practical approaches for family and online care

Susan draws on evidence-based techniques that aim to reduce distress and improve relationships in everyday life. One common approach focuses on skills training - teaching concrete ways to manage anxiety, improve communication, and respond to stress. These skills are useful for parents juggling daily demands and emotional ups and downs.

Another frequent focus is trauma-informed work that helps people name painful memories and their effects. This approach emphasizes safety and pacing so families can address past hurts without feeling overwhelmed. It is often paired with clear, actionable steps to change interaction patterns at home.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals, needs, and comfort. That teamwork helps tailor sessions to what matters most for family functioning and parenting challenges.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy households. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that feels most helpful, while phone, live chat, and text-based messaging can fit brief check-ins, scheduling needs, or times when talking by voice is difficult. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent during life transitions and busy weeks.
