About Susan
Dr. Susan Sult is a Florida-licensed psychologist with decades of experience helping adults and families navigate stressful times. She focuses on practical, doable steps that parents and family members can try between sessions.
Her style is collaborative and straightforward, aimed at reducing overwhelm and improving day-to-day functioning. She brings 35 years of clinical work to appointments, using clear methods drawn from cognitive-behavioral and emotion-focused approaches. Sessions often include skill-building for managing mood, stress, and strong emotions.
Background and approach
The goal is to teach tools that can be used at home and in family interactions. Dr. Sult treats a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma and abuse, addictions, and relationship and family challenges.
She also addresses parenting stress, sleep and eating difficulties, self-esteem, career questions, and attention issues. Additional areas she has focused on include attachment and abandonment concerns, blended family issues, and caregiving or aging matters. Her approach mixes evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) with emotionally-focused work and mindfulness practices.
She favors short-term, solution-focused steps as well as deeper work when needed. Expect clear explanations of recommended techniques and gentle practice in session. Dr.
Sult works in Florida and conducts sessions in English. She holds the credential FL Psychologist PY3854 and has helped people across many life stages find steadier footing. Outside of work she enjoys horseback riding, quilting, and cooking.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Dr. Sult uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) in online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. EFT helps people and family members identify and shift emotional patterns that get in the way of close relationships and parenting.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether short-term, skills-based work or deeper emotional work is the best next step.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit busy family schedules. These options allow for flexible timing and easier follow-up between meetings, so parents can practice new strategies at home and check in as needed.
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.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)
Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
