About Susan

Susan Huerta is a Florida licensed mental health counselor with 15 years of experience helping people through major life transitions and emotional challenges. She focuses on common struggles like anxiety, depression, grief, and addiction while also addressing communication problems and self-esteem concerns.

She spends sessions listening and helping people name what feels most urgent. She uses clear, practical tools so clients can manage panic, reduce stress, and handle relationship friction. The work is collaborative and paced to each person's needs.

Susan often supports caregivers, people facing chronic illness, and those navigating aging and geriatric issues. She also helps people dealing with divorce, blended family stress, and career uncertainty. Her practice attends to both emotional pain and everyday tasks that make life feel heavy.

Her clinical approach draws on methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. She blends skill-building with reflective conversation to help people change unhelpful patterns and reconnect with what matters.

Sessions include problem-focused strategies for coping and longer work on trauma, grief, or identity when needed. People who want straightforward, respectful guidance and tools to manage day-to-day stress tend to do well with her style. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

Therapeutic approaches brought into online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck. It focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions that move a person toward a meaningful life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to change thinking patterns and behaviors that fuel anxiety or depression. It is useful for panic, low mood, and many everyday worries. Client-Centered Therapy centers on a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the person sets the pace and goals of therapy.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Susan will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision can change over time as progress is made and priorities shift.

The biography does not specify exact session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use therapy while managing caregiving duties, work breaks, or mobility limits. Licensed professionals adapt techniques like ACT and CBT to work well in remote sessions while helping clients build skills they can use every day.
