About Susan

Susan Hallett uses practical, evidence-based techniques to help people manage everyday stress and emotional strain. She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, known as an LCSW, with 15 years of professional experience. Susan focuses on clear, usable tools that people can take out of sessions and use right away.

She helps with anxiety and depression, and with grief and loss that follow major life changes. Susan also supports people working on self-esteem, confidence, motivation, and finding a greater sense of purpose.

Background and approach

Communication problems and forgiveness are areas she addresses alongside self-love work. Susan approaches therapy as a collaborative process. She listens for strengths in each person’s story and builds practical steps from there.

Sessions aim to break larger problems into manageable tasks and to try small changes that often make daily life easier. Her style is straightforward and empowering. She encourages people to try new ways of coping, then reviews what worked and what didn’t.

Over time this approach helps people feel more capable and less overwhelmed. Susan practices in California and conducts sessions in English. She helps people who want concrete strategies and steady support while they navigate life changes, grieving, or ongoing anxiety and low mood.

Focus areas and approaches

Everything Susan lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

Online support

Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care

Susan uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on action and learning. One approach emphasizes teaching practical coping skills for anxiety and stress, such as breathing methods, behavioral experiments, and step-by-step plans to reduce avoidance. These tools aim to lower day-to-day overwhelm and increase confidence in handling triggers.

Another strand of work centers on grief and loss, helping people make sense of painful changes and find ways to honor what they’ve lost while rebuilding routine and purpose. This often includes guided reflection, planning small routines, and practical exercises to reconnect with values and motivation.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. Clients and the therapist decide together which methods to use and how fast to move.

Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging for greater flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and into different daily routines.
