About Susannah

Susannah Davis, LCMHC, brings a long history in school and mental health settings into her counseling work. She has been in independent practice for ten years and draws on over three decades of experience in related roles. Her manner is warm and relational, and she focuses on creating a non-judgmental space where people can talk about what matters to them.

She uses a flexible approach that is tailored to each person’s needs.

Background and approach

Sessions may include practical skills for coping with anxiety, anger, or sleep problems, and conversational work to clarify values and life goals. Susannah has experience supporting people through grief, career changes, and parenting challenges. Earlier roles include licensed school counselor work for 18 years, therapeutic foster care, sub-acute residential counseling, and facilitating art-based activities.

That background informs how she collaborates with clients and brings a range of practical strategies into sessions. She emphasizes clear, useful techniques rather than jargon. Susannah lists evidence-based therapeutic techniques among her methods and will discuss which approaches may fit at the start of counseling.

She works with adolescents and adults and adapts her style to match different life stages and concerns. People seeking help for relationships, family questions, trauma and abuse, ADHD-related struggles, or self-esteem issues may find her approach helpful. She practices in Vermont and conducts sessions in English, and she accepts international clients.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online care

Susannah draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that blend skill teaching with relational work. Cognitive-behavioral approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve sleep. Mindfulness and self-compassion practices teach simple exercises to calm the body and reduce harsh self-judgment, which can help with stress, grief, and body-image concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. That lets sessions be adjusted over time so the methods match current needs and life demands.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also supports ongoing work through transitions like career change, parenting adjustments, or grief without requiring in-person visits.
