About Susanna
Susanna Armstrong is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) based in Maryland who focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, sleep concerns, and mood difficulties. She has 14 years of experience and aims to help people facing depression, bipolar issues, ADHD, anger, and problems with self-esteem. Susanna also supports those coping with life changes, trauma and abuse, relationship struggles, and LGBT-related concerns.
She takes a practical, person-focused approach in sessions. Susanna listens first to understand what matters most to each person. Then she and the client set clear goals and try methods that suit that individual. Sessions often involve talking through unhelpful patterns and practicing new ways of coping.
Susanna blends several therapeutic styles rather than sticking to a single method. Techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness are used alongside motivational interviewing and psychodynamic ideas when they fit the client’s needs. She also describes her work as client-centered, meaning the client’s perspective guides the pace and focus.
Her background includes over a decade working in addictions and significant experience supporting young adults. She often integrates lifestyle factors such as movement and nutrition into treatment when appropriate. That practical attention to daily routines is frequently part of addressing sleep and rest difficulties.
Susanna encourages a collaborative working relationship. She helps people identify small, measurable steps and builds on progress. Prospective clients in Maryland who speak English can use the site tools to learn more and move forward.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Client-centered therapy puts the person’s experience first. The therapist listens closely, follows the client's lead, and focuses on goals the client values. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches specific skills for anxiety, sleep problems, and mood management.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to decide which methods to try first and adjust based on how things are going. That shared planning helps match techniques to symptoms, preferences, and daily routines.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Many people find remote sessions help fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it easier to keep consistent appointments. Online work can include skill practice between meetings and checking how changes affect sleep and daily habits, all guided by the therapist and adjusted over time.
