Rev. Susan Sciarratta, LPC - Therapist in Pennsylvania

About Susan

Rev. Susan Sciarratta is a licensed professional counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, parenting concerns, and life transitions. She is an LPC licensed in Pennsylvania and brings 12 years of counseling experience to her work.

Her manner is respectful and compassionate, and she focuses on practical steps clients can use between sessions. Formerly a professional engineer, she moved into counseling after two decades in a different field.

Background and approach

That background shaped her clear, problem-solving style. Sessions tend to be organized and goal oriented while staying warm and supportive. Susan tailors each plan to the person in front of her.

She talks through what is most important, identifies small changes that can help, and adjusts pace as needed. She works on motivation, confidence, and communication skills alongside emotional concerns. Her areas of attention include family and parenting matters, trauma and abuse, caregiving stress, postpartum issues, and end-of-life or hospice counseling.

She also addresses anger, self-esteem, career questions, and feelings of isolation or guilt. People can expect straightforward conversation and tools they can try at home. Her approach balances practical ideas with attention to emotions.

She encourages clients to take steady steps toward clearer goals and better daily functioning.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Evidence-based techniques can make sessions more focused and useful. One common method uses problem-solving and goal setting to break big worries into small, manageable steps. This approach helps when stress, anxiety, or life transitions feel overwhelming.

Another helpful technique centers on skills for emotion and behavior - teaching specific ways to calm down, improve communication, and build confidence. That can be useful for parenting strains, anger, or low self-esteem. Both approaches emphasize clear, practical tools a person can practice between sessions.

Finding the right method is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your goals, try approaches that match your needs, and adjust plans together. This collaborative process helps identify what feels most helpful and realistic for daily life.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or caregiving duties. Video calls let you see and speak with a licensed professional, while phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging provide shorter or more frequent check-ins. These options make it easier to fit support into work, family time, or caregiving routines, and they let the therapist and client focus on progress in ways that suit the client best.
