About Susan
Susan Frey is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, bipolar disorder, anger, eating concerns, and ADHD. Susan also supports those dealing with life transitions and age-related issues.
She typically uses cognitive behavioral therapy, but also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and brief solution-focused techniques when they suit a person's goals. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is among the approaches she lists and is used when addressing emotions and relationship patterns. Sessions are practical and goal-minded, focused on skills and steps that people can try between meetings.
Susan pays attention to communication problems, control and commitment issues, and common relationship strains such as jealousy, infidelity, and divorce or separation. She has experience with a range of addictions, including drug and alcohol use and process addictions like gambling and pornography. She is familiar with working with visually impaired clients and aging and geriatric concerns.
People can expect a straightforward, task-focused style that blends short-term strategies with deeper emotional work when needed. She helps clients break down problems into manageable steps and practices that can be used in everyday life. The aim is to support clearer thinking and more effective coping.
Susan provides services in English and accepts international clients. Her credential is LPC and she practices in Pennsylvania. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule their first session through the platform.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on emotions and attachment patterns. It helps people put words to hard-to-name feelings and notice the ways those feelings shape reactions in relationships. Using EFT online can support clearer recognition of emotional moments and new ways of responding.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is about spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. CBT online often includes homework tasks, thought records, and short behavioral experiments that can be practiced between sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to values-based actions, which can be useful for anxiety, addiction, and life changes.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. Susan will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and situation. That choice can shift over time as needs change, and sessions will be adjusted to focus on what is most helpful in practice.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a full session isn't needed. It also supports using in-the-moment exercises and real-life practice between meetings without promising any particular format.
