About Susan

Rev. Susan Sciarratta is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 12 years of counseling experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and life transitions. She also supports those facing caregiver strain, aging and geriatric issues, relationship trouble, and questions about life purpose or career direction.

Before counseling, she worked for 20 years as a professional engineer. That background shaped a practical, problem-solving approach to therapy. Sessions are adapted to each person’s needs and pace rather than following one fixed method.

Her style is respectful and compassionate. She focuses on building goals you can use in daily life, such as clearer communication, better coping skills, or renewed motivation. She encourages small, steady steps and checks in to adjust plans when needed.

Susan has experience helping people through caregiving stress, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and isolation or loneliness. She also addresses attachment issues, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and women’s issues. Work may include managing anger, improving self-esteem, and supporting parents through postpartum challenges.

Clients can expect a straightforward partnership. She listens, offers ideas grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques, and helps people find practical changes that fit their situation.

How evidence-based techniques can help online

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on practical skills and clear goals. One common approach emphasizes identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing them with small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety and depression. This helps people notice what works and build routines that improve mood and motivation.

Another useful approach centers on communication and relationship skills. It teaches ways to express needs, set boundaries, and repair misunderstandings. That work can ease caregiver stress, family conflict, and struggles that come with life transitions or aging-related changes.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with you about your concerns, goals, and what feels manageable. Together you will try methods and adjust them based on what helps most for your situation.

Confirm current session options before booking, since formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand it. It can also let people join sessions from a quieter spot, avoid camera use when that feels better, or maintain therapy while balancing caregiving or work responsibilities.
