About Susan
Susan Garon is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 20 years of clinical experience. She practices in Florida and holds a Kentucky LMFT credential as well. Susan helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, low self-esteem, and major life changes.
Her work draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside client-centered and cognitive-behavioral methods. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. She listens for patterns in feelings and interactions, then helps clients notice and name difficult emotions.
Susan also addresses issues related to adoption and foster care, aging and geriatric concerns, attachment, autism and Asperger Syndrome, and blended family challenges. She works with people facing communication problems, divorce or separation, guilt and shame, isolation, and questions about life purpose and midlife transitions.
When safety and coping are needed, she includes practical skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. That can mean learning specific tools to manage strong emotions, interrupt unhelpful thinking, or steady routines after loss.
Susan describes her role as a collaborative partner who helps people sort through feelings and make clearer decisions. To begin, prospective clients use the site matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. Session costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How her approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and naming emotions that drive relationship and personal patterns. It helps people notice how feelings shape reactions and then practice new, more connected responses. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, listening stance where the therapist follows the client's lead to clarify goals and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors together and provides practical strategies to shift unhelpful patterns, like activity scheduling or thought records.Finding the right approach is part of beginning work together. Susan will talk with each person about needs, goals, and what methods feel most helpful. The choice of techniques is collaborative and can shift as progress and challenges emerge.
The therapist's biography does not list specific online session formats. Before booking, confirm which formats she currently offers. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They can also let clients use audio-only when video is impractical or choose a time that avoids commuting. Licensed professionals tailor session length and rhythm to each person's needs.
