About Susan

Dr. Susan Sult greets readers with a direct focus on helping people who are worn down by stress, sleep trouble, anxiety, or upheaval in relationships. She is a Florida psychologist with decades of experience, and she aims to help clients find clearer routines, steadier moods, and better rest. The tone in sessions is practical and collaborative.

Dr. Sult has 35 years in clinical work as a FL Psychologist PY3854. She offers individual and couples counseling and helps people with a wide range of concerns, including depression, bipolar difficulties, addictions, trauma, eating concerns, parenting strain, and sleep problems. She also supports people with identity and intimacy questions.

Her approach combines structured techniques with problem-solving and emotion-focused work. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy ideas, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, mindfulness, and solution-focused methods to build day-to-day coping skills. Sessions focus on small, clear steps clients can try between meetings.

Dr. Sult describes therapy as a partnership. She talks through what changes a person wants and then outlines specific techniques to reach those goals. The work can include tracking thoughts and behaviors, practicing emotion regulation skills, and trying focused experiments to improve sleep and routines.

Outside the office she enjoys horseback riding, quilting, and cooking. She brings a down-to-earth attitude to sessions and aims to make therapy a practical part of a person's life rather than an abstract project.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Dr. Sult often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools that fit well with online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors, which works well through talk, homework, and short behavioral experiments. DBT offers skills for regulating intense emotions and improving distress tolerance, and those skills can be taught and practiced in session and between meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work she does with each person. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Session formats are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online therapy helps fit sessions into busy days, allows shorter check-ins when needed, and makes it easier to follow through on homework between meetings. Licensed professionals can use online appointments to teach practical skills, review sleep routines, and set small experiments that fit into everyday life without requiring long travel.
