About Susie
Dr. Susie Stubbs is a licensed clinical professional counselor in Maryland with 15 years of experience. She centers sessions on the client's story and strengths, helping people take practical steps toward a more fulfilling life. She frames therapy as a collaborative process and meets clients where they are.
She often helps with career concerns and coaching for professionals who want clearer direction. She also supports people facing big life changes, stress, anxiety, depression, and mood concerns such as bipolar disorder. Sleep and eating challenges are included among the practical issues she addresses.
Her approach draws on client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening and building on what already works for the client. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) tools to notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Sessions involve concrete strategies you can try between meetings.
People who come to her may be dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, intimacy struggles, parenting strain, anger, ADHD, or compassion fatigue. She aims to translate worries into doable steps and small changes that fit daily life. The focus is on what matters most to each person.
She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a session based on availability. The process is straightforward and meant to get people connected to support without unnecessary complexity.
How client-centered work and CBT translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person. It emphasizes empathy, respect, and helping clients use their own strengths to tackle problems. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and gives practical tools to test different ways of thinking and behaving to reduce distress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide whether client-centered techniques, CBT tools, or a mix makes the most sense. That choice is based on the person's goals, day-to-day needs, and what feels most helpful in early sessions.
Practical benefits of online therapy often include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy life. Online work can make short check-ins more manageable and allow continuity when travel or work makes in-person visits difficult. The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking to match the way you want to work. Licensed professionals can use online sessions to practice the same listening and CBT exercises they use in person, adapted to your routine and goals.
