Susan Toth, LISW-CP - Therapist in South Carolina

About Susan

Susan Toth is a licensed social worker in South Carolina who focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, trauma, and addictions. She holds the LISW-CP credential, which means she is a licensed independent social worker with clinical practice privileges. Her style is warm and straightforward, aimed at helping parents and caregivers find practical ways forward.

Susan listens first, then helps people set clear goals for what they want to change.

Background and approach

She uses common-sense tools to manage worry, improve sleep, and reduce overwhelm. Sessions are collaborative and paced to match each person’s needs. Her background includes 16 years of clinical experience working with issues such as grief, compassion fatigue, codependency, and family of origin problems.

She also addresses communication problems, attachment concerns, and challenges around commitment and infidelity. This range gives her experience with many of the stresses parents describe. In sessions she combines client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness-based skills.

That means people talk through what matters, practice new ways of thinking or behaving, and learn simple skills to calm the body and mind. She also uses solution-focused strategies to identify small steps that lead to change. Susan aims to help clients feel more capable at home and in relationships.

She works with each person to build clearer communication, better coping, and more predictable routines. Her approach is practical, steady, and focused on day-to-day improvements.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Susan draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness therapy in online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different actions to shift feelings and behavior, which can help with anxiety, sleep, or mood. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and manage stress in daily life.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. She works with each person to decide what methods fit their needs and goals, adjusting techniques as progress is made. The work is collaborative - clients and therapist try ideas, review what helps, and refine the plan together.

Online sessions offer flexibility for busy parents and caregivers. Video calls let people talk face-to-face from home, phone sessions remove travel time, and live chat or text-based messaging provide brief check-ins or support between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while managing family and work responsibilities.

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.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
