Susan King, LMFT - Therapist in Michigan

About Susan

Susan King is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with seven years of professional experience. She focuses on common struggles like stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, and parenting concerns. Susan aims to create a calm, supportive space where people can talk through painful problems and figure out practical next steps.

Susan uses a relational style that keeps the connection between therapist and client central. She pays attention to patterns such as attachment, codependency, or communication problems and helps people notice how those patterns affect daily life.

Background and approach

Sessions tend to be grounded, concrete, and focused on small changes that add up over time. Her training includes approaches such as Attachment-Based Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, and emotion-focused work. Susan draws from Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and mindfulness to help with strong emotions and impulsive reactions.

She adapts methods to each person rather than following a rigid plan. Susan has lived through transitions and time spent in another country, and she brings that perspective to treatment. She holds licensure as an LMFT in Michigan and Indiana, listed under MI LMFT 4101006694 and IN LMFT 35001905A.

This background supports practical help for people dealing with life changes and relationship stress. In sessions, she helps clients spot unhelpful habits, practice new ways of relating, and build coping skills for tough moments. The work is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions that fit your life

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early patterns of relating shape current problems. It helps people understand closeness and distance in relationships and work on safer ways of connecting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It teaches clear skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior and is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss what feels most useful and try methods together. This is a collaborative process where goals and preferences guide which therapies are emphasized.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care more convenient. These options let people schedule sessions around work, school, and family life and continue therapy during transitions. Using a mix of formats, the therapist can share skills, offer coaching between sessions, and adjust the plan to fit each person’s routine and needs.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

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.
