About Susan

Susan Henry is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience. She practices in Minnesota as an LISW and LCSW and works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and life changes.

Susan helps people manage addiction-related issues, intimacy questions, eating and sleeping struggles, parenting strains, anger, and self-esteem problems. She also supports those dealing with mood conditions such as bipolar disorder and depression, and addresses work and career stress. Sessions are conducted in English.

Her approach draws from several well-known therapies. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at strong emotions and relationship patterns. She also incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to develop practical skills for coping. Attachment-based and client-centered ideas shape how she listens and responds.

In a typical session she helps clients name emotions, notice repeating patterns, and practice different ways of relating to themselves and others. She works on concrete strategies for stress, sleep, and mood, as well as on longer-standing issues like abandonment or attachment wounds. Susan supports people looking both for short-term problem solving and longer-term change.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and working with strong emotions and patterns in relationships. It can help people notice how emotions shape reactions and try new ways of connecting or responding. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical ways to accept difficult feelings while taking action toward important values. It often helps with anxiety, stress, and life transitions by building flexible coping skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, symptoms, and preferences, and together decide which methods to use. That collaborative process can include mixing EFT, ACT, and CBT ideas to match what a person needs in the moment.

Session formats are not specified in the profile, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce commuting, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people use visual or phone-based formats according to what suits their energy, bandwidth, or daily routine. Licensed professionals work with clients to choose a session rhythm that fits practical life demands.
