About Susan

Susan Mount is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado with 22 years of clinical experience. She brings a practical, down-to-earth approach that parents can follow. Her work focuses on family and parenting issues alongside a range of emotional and behavioral concerns.

Susan aims to help families improve communication and build stronger relationships. She has a background in school and residential settings and has worked with children, young adults, and families in multiple care environments.

Background and approach

That experience informs how she addresses stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma in everyday terms. Sessions are straightforward and focused on clear goals that families can try between meetings. Susan’s style is warm, interactive, and strength-based.

She listens first, then helps people identify small changes that add up. She uses practical tools from cognitive-behavioral methods and attachment-focused ideas to help repair and strengthen relationships. Therapy also covers concerns like ADHD, parenting challenges, eating and body-image issues, grief, addictions, and compassion fatigue.

She draws on emotionally-focused and existential ideas when exploring meaning, connection, and emotional patterns. The work is collaborative and paced to each family’s needs. Parents can expect concrete strategies, emotional support, and guidance on communication.

Susan encourages small steps toward clearer boundaries and healthier interaction patterns.

Approaches that guide online family support

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of connection within relationships. It helps people understand attachment needs and work toward more supported interactions, which can improve parenting and family bonds. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person in the room by offering empathic listening and accepting feedback so people feel heard while they find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and offers skills to address anxiety, depression, and stress through practical exercises and new habits.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each family to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative process includes testing tools, noticing what helps, and adjusting the plan as needed.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect with a licensed professional. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions remove the need for video, and live chat or text messaging can work for quick check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule around school, work, and caregiving responsibilities while keeping the focus on clear steps families can practice between meetings.

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.
