About Susan
Susan Hewitt is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who brings 27 years of experience to her practice. She aims to make therapy a warm, affirming place where people can talk honestly about stress, anxiety, and life changes. Her style is compassionate and nonjudgmental, with attention to mind, body, and spirit.
She draws on work across inpatient and outpatient settings and time spent in schools and primary care clinics. That mix shaped a practical bedside manner that focuses on everyday steps people can use between sessions. She has long experience supporting people facing depression, anxiety, compassion fatigue, grief, and mood concerns.
Susan has worked with members of the LGBT community and addresses issues they may face. She also helps people with relationship strain, communication problems, divorce and separation, and social anxiety or phobias. Panic disorder and panic attacks are among the concerns she lists as focus areas.
In sessions she centers what matters most to the person who comes in. She listens for patterns, points out realistic small changes, and builds on the person’s strengths. The goal is steady progress rather than quick fixes.
People who want to work on self-love, forgiveness, guilt, life purpose, or women's health concerns will find those issues in her practice. She welcomes conversations about how therapy could fit into daily life and what practical steps feel doable.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to therapist availability. The process is intended to match needs and preferences before scheduling continues.
Evidence-based techniques and online care
Many of her approaches focus on practical, evidence-based techniques that help reduce anxiety and improve daily coping. One common approach helps people learn to notice and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns so panic symptoms and social fears feel less frequent and less intense. Another approach emphasizes grounding and breath-based skills to manage sudden panic symptoms and to build tolerance for uncomfortable sensations.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about symptoms, goals, and what has or hasn’t helped before deciding which techniques to try. Together they’ll adjust methods over time based on what is most useful for the person’s needs and preferences.
Confirm current session options before booking, as the original biography does not list specific online formats. Many people find online therapy helps fit sessions into busy routines, lets them check in without travel, and makes it easier to maintain continuity during life changes. There can also be practical benefits like shorter check-ins when schedules are tight or using audio-only when bandwidth is limited. The focus is on making therapy workable and relevant to everyday life rather than promising specific outcomes.
