More about Susan
- 30 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in the state of New Jersey with over 25 years of experience working with clients with disabilities and their families, clients with addictive disorders and clients going through life transitions. I am experienced in working with adults of all ages who present with depression, anxiety, regret or who have suffered childhood trauma, physical and/or emotional abuse. I have worked with victims of stalking and domestic violence.
I will customize my schedule to fit yours, if possible. I will answer your messages on a daily basis and will also work with clients who only want to communicate by text. You will be my #1 priority.
I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy, insight and reality oriented therapy as well as supportive therapy.
I believe in the power of talk therapy and my philosophy can be summed up by the following quotation: "If you want to fly, you have to give up what weighs you down."

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Susan has been a wonderful listener and guide while I work on making changes in my life!
Susan is amazing. I feel safe and secure in our sessions. Most of all I feel understood.
In the year that I have been working with Susan, I have gone from being scared to speak my truth and tell my husband I wanted a divorce, to going through the tough times that came from doing so, to now finally being able to breathe and feeling confident and empowered. She has always been there for me and taught me to stand up for myself and to trust myself. I could NOT have done this without her. She helped me change my life and I will be forever grateful. She has been the perfect therapist for me. Thank you Better Help and thank you to Susan for helping me become who I am today.
Susan is amazing. She goes above and beyond to be there for her clients. She has always made me feel like she personally truly cares for me , but also listens without judgement. I feel very lucky to work with her.
Working with Susan is a great experience - She has been committed to help me evolve and work through my challenges!
We have just began talking and I feel comfortable to be myself. Susan is down to earth and I feel safe talking about me.
She’s amazing
I’m so happy to have found Susan. She’s so kind and calm and provides not only sound guidance but the reassurance I need. Our sessions have been helping me so much.
Mrs. Frambes is a sweet person that cares about my situation. It took a lot for me to even look for help. I'm glad she is my therapist
She is absolutely wonderful! If it wasn’t for her I don’t know how I would have made it through! She’s like a best friend & still maintains professionalism!
I came to see Susan as I was struggling with severe post-trauma issues. Susan is a gifted therapist who understands how to be an active listener. She doesn’t shy from asking hard questions or commenting on what she’s hearing and relating it to the whole of her understanding of your experience. She’s incredibly supportive, without judgement, but never shies from asking the questions she needs to in order help you move forward. She’s also one of the kindest people I know. I couldn’t recommend her enough.
