About Susan
Dr. Susan Lieberman is a clinical psychologist who focuses on practical strategies to address sleeping problems, mood, and daily stress. She brings 24 years of experience and uses clear, goal-oriented methods to help people who are worn down by anxiety, depression, or life changes. Dr. Lieberman practices as KS Psychologist LP 1071 and works from Kansas.
Her sessions emphasize simple tools people can use between meetings. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that keep sleep problems and anxiety active. She also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help clients clarify values and take small steps toward a more balanced life.
Attachment-based ideas guide her work on close relationships and intimacy-related concerns. That helps when past losses, adoption or abandonment experiences affect current trust and closeness. She also brings client-centered listening to create space for people to speak honestly about grief, parenting strain, caregiver stress, or workplace burnout.
Dr. Lieberman has long experience with complex presentations that include co-occurring issues such as chronic illness, addiction, ADHD, and trauma histories. She aims to break problems into manageable pieces and teach skills for better sleep, mood, and daily functioning. Her approach is collaborative, practical, and paced to each person.
People who reach out can expect straightforward explanations, focused skill-building, and attention to real-life barriers to rest and recovery. Prospective clients should review formats and scheduling options before booking to confirm current session arrangements.
Therapeutic approaches that support better sleep and coping
Dr. Lieberman uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify and change thoughts and habits that interfere with sleep, mood, and daily functioning. CBT often includes practical sleep hygiene work, experiment-based changes to routines, and step-by-step behavior adjustments to reduce insomnia and anxiety. She also draws on acceptance and commitment therapy, which focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking committed actions toward those values. ACT can help when worries or low mood make it hard to follow through on routines that support rest and recovery. Attachment-based ideas are used to understand how early relationships affect current closeness, trust, and intimacy, which can in turn influence sleep and emotional regulation. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about symptoms, goals, and preferences and then recommend strategies and practice exercises together. This collaborative process helps tailor techniques for sleep, stress, and relationship-related challenges. Confirm the therapist's current session formats before booking, as options are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so people can use breaks from work or caregiving more easily. Licensed professionals adapt pacing and homework to suit each person's daily life without promising specific outcomes.Areas of expertise
