About Susannah
Susannah Davis, LCMHC, has spent a decade in private practice and over 35 years working in mental health and school counseling roles. She brings a warm, relational, and client-centered style. Sessions are meant to be a calm place to name what feels hard and find steps that make daily life easier.
Her background includes work as a licensed school counselor, a therapeutic foster care provider, and a residential counselor, along with facilitating art therapy. This range of roles shaped a practical approach to common struggles like anxiety, grief, sleep problems, and issues with self-esteem.
In sessions she lays out a tailored plan based on each person’s needs. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and practical skills from cognitive and body-focused approaches. The work often blends skill practice, reflective conversation, and grounding exercises.
People bring concerns such as relationship strain, panic and panic attacks, trauma, parenting stress, or questions about life direction. She also addresses topics like codependency, body image, and coping with loss. The focus is on clear steps clients can try between meetings.
At the start of counseling, she and the client agree on which approaches to use and what goals feel most important. Progress is checked along the way and the plan is adjusted as needed.
Evidence-informed approaches for online care
Susannah works from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that combine thinking skills and body-centered practices. Cognitive approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing them with small experiments, which can help with anxiety, panic, and low mood. Somatic-informed work pays attention to bodily sensations and teaches grounding and regulation skills that can reduce the intensity of panic symptoms.She also draws on mindfulness and narrative elements to help people notice their experience without judgment and to reframe difficult life stories. The therapist and client decide together which methods to try and tailor those methods to the person’s needs, goals, and preferences in a collaborative way.
Confirm current session formats before booking because the profile does not list specific delivery options. Many people find online sessions helpful for fitting therapy into a busy life, keeping appointments during travel or work breaks, and making it easier to meet consistently. Online work can allow for shorter check-ins when needed and for practicing grounding and breathing techniques in the settings where symptoms occur.
