About Susana
Susana Mejia-Vargas is a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker who focuses on helping people work through the effects of unresolved trauma. She speaks English and Spanish and draws on four years of clinical experience. Susana aims to make therapy understandable and practical for people feeling overwhelmed by stress or anxiety.
She pays attention to how trauma shows up in daily life - sleep trouble, constant irritability, low mood, or trouble connecting with others.
Background and approach
Sessions center on understanding those patterns and naming what is happening in the body and mind. Susana treats grief, family conflict, self-esteem concerns, and the long-term effects of abuse and loss. Her background includes supporting people connected to adoption and foster care.
She helps address attachment questions, identity concerns, cultural issues, and grief that can come with adoption experiences. She also works with people facing caregiver stress, relationship communication problems, divorce, and domestic violence aftermath. Susana uses a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques.
In sessions she emphasizes active listening, building rapport, and collaborating on practical steps for stress management. She makes clinical judgments when needed while treating each person as the expert on their own life. Therapy with Susana focuses on building coping skills, increasing emotional awareness, and strengthening relationships where possible.
She guides people toward clearer communication, healthier boundaries, and a stronger sense of purpose as they recover from trauma and related struggles.

Online support
Evidence-based approaches for online healing
Susana draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage trauma and stress. One commonly used method is cognitive behavioral approaches that look at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect; this helps with anxiety, sleep problems, and low mood by teaching concrete strategies to shift unhelpful patterns. Another approach she uses is narrative-oriented work, which helps people organize and reframe personal stories related to loss, identity, or adoption concerns so those memories feel less overwhelming.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify which techniques fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most, and clients are invited to give feedback about what feels useful during sessions.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation, phone sessions can fit a short break at work or require less bandwidth, and live chat or text messaging let people check in between sessions or use shorter, focused exchanges. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while managing a busy schedule.
