About Susan

Susan Nimrod is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) based in Kansas with three decades of experience. She focuses on making first steps into counseling feel easier and less awkward. Her work is practical and goal-centered, and she aims to build a relaxed, non-judgmental relationship with each person who reaches out.

Susan draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, to help people notice patterns of thinking and change habits that cause distress.

Background and approach

She combines that with a holistic view that considers both mental and physical well-being. Sessions are straightforward and geared toward small, usable changes rather than long lectures. Many people come for help with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, or major life changes.

She also helps with relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, grief, intimacy issues, sleep problems, anger, and career worries. Additional areas of focus include aging and geriatric issues, cancer, fertility and pregnancy concerns, midlife transitions, seasonal mood changes, and women's issues. Susan has worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings and now provides outpatient therapy in independent practice.

Her experience includes supporting adults, children, couples, and families. She explains ideas clearly and partners with clients to set realistic goals and steps to reach them. Parents who want direct, practical help with family or parenting matters will find a steady, experienced clinician who prefers a clear, down-to-earth approach.

Her sessions aim to leave people with tools they can use between meetings.

CBT and practical therapy over video or messaging

Susan uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, which helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors to reduce stress and anxiety. CBT is useful for mood problems, worry, sleep difficulties, and practical issues like parenting stress.

Her approach pairs CBT with a whole-person perspective, paying attention to how physical health and daily routines affect mood. She works collaboratively, listening to each person's goals and adjusting techniques to fit their needs and preferences.

Online sessions are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility for busy families. These options make it easier to fit therapy into school schedules, workdays, or caregiving routines. The therapist and client will decide together which format and pace make the most sense, and adapt over time as needs change.

Using these remote formats lets people access consistent support without long travel. The goal is to provide practical tools that can be used between meetings, while making appointments that fit real life.

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.
