About Susan
Susan King is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, and panic-related concerns. She writes in a straightforward way and focuses on real change over time. Her style is calm and relational, aiming to make hard conversations feel manageable.
Susan uses a few different ways of working depending on what a person needs. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and on attachment-focused work to understand how past relationships shape current reactions. She also brings client-centered listening so people feel heard while they decide on goals.
With seven years of practice, Susan has supported people through life transitions, parenting stresses, addiction issues, and trauma. She has lived and worked in different places and says that personal experience with big changes informs her approach. She describes therapy as a joint effort and focuses on building a steady working relationship first.
Sessions are practical and paced to each person. Susan helps people notice patterns, try new skills, and make small changes that add up. She aims to reduce overwhelm and increase coping skills in everyday life.
Susan is licensed in Michigan and Indiana as an LMFT. Her work is offered in English and she does not take international clients at this time. To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current reactions. It helps people understand why certain situations trigger strong emotions and guides steps toward feeling more connected and less reactive. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical tools to challenge unhelpful thoughts and to practice different behaviors that reduce anxiety and panic. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and supporting each person's own goals. This approach creates space for someone to set the pace and priorities in sessions.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan if something isn’t working. The relationship and fit are treated as a collaborative journey rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to continue care during life transitions. Confirm current session options when you schedule so arrangements match your needs.
