More about me

Licensing: LMHC Years in Practice: 25 State: Florida

Hello, my name is Susan. I am a licensed mental health counselor in Florida, where I have worked in the mental health community for 20 years. I have experience helping a wide range of clients and families with a wide variety of issues to include anxiety, depression, grief, relationship issues and trauma of abuse, Bipolar Disorder and ADHD.

As a therapist, I prefer to use a client-centered approach to treatment because I believe clients need to be heard and listened to at a deep level. This allows them to hear themselves undeniable them to resolve their pain and reach of real healing. I am able to effectively and seamlessly incorporate cognitive behavior therapy, motivational interviewing, solution-based therapy, grief therapy, parenting education throughout our sessions, based on your goals. Your unique needs are of the highest importance in the therapy relationship. I will keep us focused on practical solutions and lasting change.

You are brave to reach out for help! You have taken the right first step to healing. I welcome the opportunity to work with you. I would be honored to be your guide through your healing process.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Overall

I like talking to nice people

She is amazing! Never judges, gives honest opinions, and overall is a blessing of a therapist. I will continue to use her and recommend that others do.

Very caring!

I have had so many serious issues with trauma and ongoing struggles with my mental health. My therapist has been a saving grace, I dont know what I would do without her.

Only 2 sessions in and Susan has given me many good ideas and plans to move in the right direction. Helping me understand problems aren’t resolved in a minute, this is a whole life and there is work to be done. Thanks!

She has always been extremely kind, thoughtful, and thought-provoking. She listens, empathizes, and challenges (when appropriate).

Susan is wonderful and such a blessing.

Susan is amazing at listening and guiding me through a very tough situation I am currently in. She has a very relaxed and calming demeanor. I would highly recommend her.

I could not say enough good things about my therapist. She has been amazing. Her skill set is very vast and she always helps me and truly cares!

She is wonderful!

Even when I feel like I don't have anything to work on, Susan knows the right questions to ask. She listens SO WELL and can see past my messy emotions to help me understand what is really going on. I am just so impressed with her skills! We have been working together for 6 or 7 months now and I feel so much better and more healthy than when I started. I highly recommend Susan, especially to anyone who is new to Betterhelp.

Susan is amazing. She is respectful and caring. She truly takes the time to make sure you are heard and feel safe. I would recommend her to anyone needing a therapist who knows how to talk to your inner self.

Susan is the best! Very caring, great listener, wonderful suggestions

Susan is kind, caring, and listens.

Susan has been such a joy to work with. She truly cares. I feel like I can really tell her what is bothering me.

Susan is incredible. As a Christian woman, I went through 6 others before I found her as the fit for me. You need someone who can understand your goal, even when it goes against a secular generalized opinion.

She participated with listening and understanding the circumstance and made suggestions on how to handle and react towards the issues. She was great help.

Susan is gentle and is a great listener

Love my counselor and have already recommended and better help all the time

Susan was low key and exactly what I needed at the time.

So far I have been meeting with Susan for almost two months and I am SO grateful for all the work we have been able to do. She is understanding, calm and creates an environment that fosters vulnerability and healing. She is an expert in trauma and trauma-related therapy and meeting with her has been fundamental to my journey or recovery and becoming one with my fractured parts again. I would recommend meeting with Susan to anyone, without a doubt.

Excellent therapist. Offers me perspective, guidance, honestly, and clarity.

I’ve had 4 therapy sessions with Susan so far and I can say that each and every time, I’ve been understanding myself and feeling more progress. I will continue to work with her until I know that I’m at a much better place than when I started

Susan is very patient, understanding, and has a great outlook on my situation. I appreciate her perspective and look forward to working through some things with her.

I have only met with Susan last week for our first session. Our second session is this afternoon. She has been very responsive and encouraging via email. Also, she has sent me helpful worksheets on Forgiveness and Coping with Anxiety. I believe she will continue to guide me and help me on the road to healing. I am so thankful for BetterHelp and connecting me with Susan. Sherry Richmond
