About Susan
Susan Guerra is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 28 years of practice. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, depression, sleep problems, relationship and intimacy concerns, and parenting strain.

She offers a compassionate, nonjudgmental way of working. Sessions focus on one person at a time and on finding realistic steps for daily life. She uses a mix of strategies so clients can try what fits them best and build skills that stick.
Susan draws from therapy methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. She also integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy when helpful. These approaches are used to address mood, stress, trauma, relationship patterns, and coping with health or caregiving challenges.
Her background includes work in home health, hospice, psychiatric hospitals, outpatient clinics, residential substance-abuse settings, women's shelters, mental health counseling centers, and schools. That variety informs a practical style that emphasizes usable tools and clearer daily routines.
People who come to her can expect collaborative planning, simple ways to practice skills between sessions, and attention to each person's unique situation. She works from Louisiana and offers services in English, including to international clients, and helps develop plans that fit real life.
Therapeutic approaches and online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values, even when feelings are difficult. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and trying new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, listening stance where the therapist follows the client's lead and helps them find their own solutions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, try strategies that fit those goals, and adjust the plan together as progress and needs change.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time so people can use therapy during work breaks or between errands. Licensed professionals can use these methods to teach coping skills, sleep strategies, emotion regulation, and communication tools in ways that translate into everyday routines.
