About Sus
Sus Austill is a licensed clinical social worker with 37 years of experience. She uses a person-centered way of working and practical tools to help people facing addiction, trauma, grief, anxiety, and parenting stresses. Sessions are straightforward and focused on what the client needs right now.
Her approach blends listening with concrete techniques. She draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral ideas, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and narrative work. That mix lets her adapt to each person's situation instead of sticking to one fixed method.
Background and approach
Sus has long experience in addiction services and crisis work. She has supported people through substance use concerns, trauma and moral injury, compassion fatigue, and life changes. She also helps with ADHD, depression, relationship and intimacy challenges, and issues related to gender and sexual identity.
In online sessions she uses tools that fit the moment - short check-ins, step-by-step coping skills, and conversations that make sense for daily life. She brings practical strategies such as motivation-based interviewing and mindfulness exercises alongside chance to tell and reshape personal stories. She speaks English and Danish and works with people in Florida and beyond.
Her background includes decades in outpatient, residential, and inpatient settings, and long personal experience in recovery and parenting. This experience shapes a calm, steady style that balances empathy with clear next steps.

Online support
Practical approaches for online care
Sus often combines client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in online sessions. Client-centered work means the conversation centers on the person's experience and goals, with the therapist listening closely and following the client's lead. Cognitive behavioral techniques focus on current thoughts and behaviors, offering step-by-step tools for anxiety, mood, or addiction-related challenges.She also uses mindfulness practices to help people notice reactions and reduce intense stress. Mindfulness exercises are simple breathing and attention skills that can be used between sessions to manage strong feelings or impulsive urges. Choosing an approach is a collaborative process; the therapist and client talk about goals and try methods that fit the person's needs and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and ongoing text-based messaging. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and teaching skills while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and text messaging suit brief updates, journaling between sessions, or steady support during busy weeks. These options offer flexibility so therapy can fit work, family, and daily life.
