Susanne Jenemann, LMFT - Therapist in New York

About Susanne

Susanne Jenemann is a licensed marriage and family therapist in New York with 20 years of professional experience. She approaches work with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, self-esteem concerns, and parenting challenges. Susanne emphasizes clients' strengths and treats each person as the expert of their own story.

She aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable and supported. Susanne uses straightforward conversation to help people name what is hard and try practical ways to feel steadier.

Background and approach

She listens for patterns that keep problems repeating and helps clients practice new ways of communicating and coping. Her style is calm and collaborative, focusing on small, doable changes rather than quick fixes. Her training includes approaches that address both individual experience and relationship patterns.

She weaves methods that look at personal narratives and the emotional parts inside a person while also paying attention to how people relate to one another. This lets her adapt work to whatever a client brings to a session. Sessions can include talking through difficult memories, learning skills to manage strong emotions, or practicing clearer communication.

Susanne supports people through transitions, losses, and moments when motivation or confidence feels low. She also attends to issues related to identity, multicultural concerns, and the impacts of prejudice and discrimination. People who choose her often want steady support and a therapist who trusts their lived knowledge.

Susanne offers an accepting space to try new approaches and build on what already works in daily life.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person in the room and focuses on listening, respect, and the client's own goals; it helps when someone needs a space to be heard and to build confidence in decisions. The Gottman Method looks at how partners communicate and solve problems and offers concrete skills for improving connection and reducing conflict. Narrative Therapy helps people look at the stories they tell about themselves, separate problems from identity, and rewrite those stories to support healthier choices and relationships.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Susanne collaborates with each client to figure out which methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. She may combine ideas from different approaches over time so the plan stays useful and realistic.

Online therapy makes these approaches available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. That flexibility helps people fit sessions into busy lives, keeps work consistent during transitions, and allows sessions from familiar locations. Licensed professionals can use these formats to teach skills, process difficult experiences, and practice new ways of relating in a way that suits each person's schedule and pace.

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.

Gottman Method

A research-based framework for couples, focused on how partners argue, repair, and stay connected. Practical and structured, with exercises to try between sessions.

Narrative Therapy

Looking at the story you have come to tell about yourself, and where it came from. The work is in separating the problem from your identity and finding accounts that fit you better.
