About Susan
Susan Henry is a licensed social worker with 25 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, grief, and sleep problems. Susan aims to create a welcoming, affirming space where people can speak openly about what’s hard for them.
Her approach is grounded in practical help and steady support. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different ways of responding. Attachment-based and client-centered ideas shape how she pays attention to relationships and emotional needs.
Susan often helps clients who are navigating life transitions, workplace stress, or the aftermath of trauma and abuse. She also supports people with addiction, bipolar disorder, depression, and concerns around intimacy, parenting, and caregiving stress. Sessions focus on clear goals, small experiments, and learning skills that fit everyday life.
Over time she guides people toward greater self-awareness and healthier routines, including better sleep habits when that is a concern. Susan emphasizes building self-compassion and practical coping strategies rather than quick fixes.
She practices in Minnesota and works in English. If you want to explore whether she might be a fit, the first step is a short matching questionnaire and a scheduled session based on the listed process.
How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and move toward values-based action. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and situations where someone wants to build a life around what matters to them rather than get stuck in worry. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying specific thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and then testing new, practical strategies to change them; it often helps with sleep, mood, and anxiety issues. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early and current relationship patterns affect emotions and closeness, which can be helpful for intimacy, relationship strain, and trauma-related concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean using one approach more than another, or blending techniques over time as goals evolve.
Session formats supported by this profile are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and offering continuity when schedules change. In practice this can help people maintain momentum between appointments, try behavioral changes in everyday settings, and get consistent support while juggling work, caregiving, or other commitments.
