About Susan
Susan Pittman is a licensed social worker with 14 years of professional experience and eight years as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW).

Susan aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through difficult feelings and take steps toward change.
She focuses on clear, practical work in sessions. That can mean identifying small goals, practicing new ways to handle tension, and talking through patterns that make relationships hard. Susan also addresses related concerns such as abandonment, communication problems, caregiver stress, addiction, and coping with natural or human-caused disaster.
Susan uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. She listens closely and tailors her approach to each person's needs. The work tends to be collaborative and paced to what the client can manage.
Over her career she has supported people through major life shifts like divorce, aging challenges, and fatherhood issues. She also helps with specific personality-related struggles such as avoidant or dependent tendencies and feelings of emptiness.

Therapeutic techniques and online care
Many of Susan's sessions are grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach involves learning coping skills for stress and anxiety, such as breathing strategies, grounding exercises, and step-by-step plans to manage overwhelming moments. These techniques help people regain a sense of control and reduce daily distress.Another frequently used direction centers on processing trauma and abuse in a paced way. That work usually involves identifying triggers, developing safer ways to respond, and building emotional stability before addressing difficult memories. This approach is intended to help people feel steadier and more able to face challenges in their relationships and daily life.
Finding the right method is part of the process. Susan works collaboratively with each person to choose which techniques fit their goals and comfort level. She adjusts the approach over time based on what the client notices is helping and what feels manageable.
