About Susan

Susan Jentoft is a licensed professional counselor with 25 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and sleep or eating concerns. Her approach aims to be steady and down-to-earth so people can make small changes that add up over time.

Susan focuses on the individual story in each session. She listens for what matters most and helps clients set practical goals. Sessions often include learning simple skills to manage strong emotions and build better routines around sleep and daily life.

Clients can expect a collaborative tone. Conversations are paced to each person’s needs, with room for practical problem solving and emotional reflection. Susan draws on a mix of approaches such as cognitive-behavioral tools and mindfulness to address thought patterns, behaviors, and stress responses.

She also brings therapies that emphasize values and emotional connection. These methods can help people clarify priorities, repair communication habits, and handle grief or life transitions. Susan pays attention to how relationships and day-to-day habits affect sleep and overall wellbeing.

Based in Mississippi, Susan offers care in English and accepts international clients. She aims to support people through change, whether that means coping with loss, managing addiction concerns, navigating parenting challenges, or improving rest and daily functioning.

Approaches that translate well to online work

Susan uses cognitive-behavioral techniques to help people identify unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. CBT is practical and often focuses on changing routines, which can be useful for sleep problems and daily stress.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. ACT can reduce struggle with difficult thoughts and create steady habits that support rest and wellbeing.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Susan will talk with each person about goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process that can shift over time if something isn’t working.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Many people appreciate online therapy because it can make scheduling easier, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when days are busy. Online work can also make it simpler to practice sleep or relaxation skills in the context of a normal routine.
