Susan Resnik, LMHC - Therapist in Florida

About Susan

Susan Resnik is a Florida licensed mental health counselor with 20 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, grief, and parenting challenges. Her approach is warm and straightforward, aimed at helping clients make small, concrete changes that feel manageable.

Conversations are practical and paced to the client's needs. In sessions she emphasizes clear communication and emotional awareness. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to help identify unhelpful thoughts and build healthier routines.

Background and approach

She also draws on acceptance and commitment strategies to help people clarify what matters to them and act on those values. Her style is collaborative and calm. She listens first, then offers techniques that clients can try between meetings.

Those may include mindfulness exercises, skills for tolerating strong emotions, and ways to improve everyday interactions. Over two decades she has supported people dealing with codependency, commitment questions, communication problems, and feelings of guilt or shame. Work with her often focuses on building self-respect, exploring life purpose, and strengthening relationships with others.

Sessions use language and examples that are easy to follow. The goal is steady progress, not a quick fix. Practical tools and small behavior changes are prioritized to help clients move toward the life they want.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and finding direction when life feels unclear. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change habits and reduce distress. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and everyday problem solving. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on understanding emotional patterns in relationships and learning new ways to connect and respond to others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will work collaboratively to test techniques and adapt methods to what feels most helpful. Clients and therapist decide together which tools to use based on goals, preferences, and what shows results in everyday life.

Online therapy offers flexible options like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules and to review notes or skills between meetings. The range of formats also lets people choose the communication style that feels most comfortable while working on stress, parenting concerns, relationships, and emotional skills.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

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.
