About Susan

Susan Scott is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 13 years of clinical experience. She focuses on relationship, family, and parenting concerns and helps people manage change and emotional strain. Her approach centers on listening first and building a plan that fits each person’s situation.

She aims to offer steady support while people work through difficult moments. In sessions she uses practical tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to address mood, anger, and stress.

Background and approach

She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help repair connection and to address attachment and communication problems. Motivational Interviewing helps people find the energy to make needed changes. Susan often works with families navigating divorce, blended family challenges, or caregiver stress.

She also supports people dealing with guilt, shame, low self-esteem, and workplace issues. Her background includes helping clients with compassion fatigue and other mood disorders. Therapy with her typically includes straightforward conversations about goals and small, achievable steps between sessions.

She adapts methods to fit daily life and parenting demands. Sessions are offered in English and take place with a focus on what is most useful for the family or individual. Susan practices in Texas under TX LPC 65304.

She aims to make therapy practical and easy to follow for parents and adults who want guidance through transitions and relationship strains.

Approach-driven online care for family and relationship needs

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s perspective. It helps people feel heard and respected and forms the basis for any practical change work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and provides tools to reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and unhelpful behavior. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches skills for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and handling conflict more effectively.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with clients about goals, try different strategies, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. This collaborative process aims to match techniques to the needs of the individual or family rather than relying on a single method.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy family schedules. These options make it easier to meet between work, school, and caregiving demands and provide flexible ways to practice skills and check in. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver focused, goal-oriented work that fits daily life.

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.

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.
