About Susan
Susan Jentoft is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Mississippi with 25 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, trauma, and relationship concerns. Susan also supports those coping with parenting strain, sleep and eating problems, career stress, and changes tied to aging.
She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), client-centered work, and mindfulness. In sessions she helps clients name difficult emotions and notice how those feelings affect behavior and relationships. She guides practical steps to reduce unhelpful patterns and strengthen meaningful connections.
Susan’s style is straightforward and steady. Conversations cover what is happening now, how feelings show up in the body, and what small changes could make daily life easier. She also addresses topics like substance use, codependency, hoarding, and commitment or communication problems when they affect a person’s functioning.
She adapts common therapy tools so they fit real life. That can mean short behavioral experiments between sessions, focused breathing or mindfulness practices, or values-based goal work from ACT. Susan draws on clinical experience to help people prioritize what to address first.
People who choose her tend to want clear steps and practical ways to handle strong emotions. She offers grounded, experience-based support for those working through major life transitions, ongoing stress, or long-standing patterns that feel stuck.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on recognizing and reshaping emotional patterns that affect relationships and personal wellbeing. It helps people name hard-to-reach feelings and change unhelpful interaction cycles. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes clarifying values and taking committed action, while accepting difficult thoughts rather than fighting them. These techniques often help with anxiety, depression, and decisions tied to life transitions.Susan treats finding the right approach as a collaborative step. She will talk with clients about what matters most to them and which methods feel like the best match. Together they set goals and try small changes to see what helps, adjusting the plan as work progresses.
Confirm the available session formats before you book, as specific options are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. They also permit sessions without being on camera if a quieter or lower-bandwidth option is preferable. Licensed professionals help clients decide how to structure appointments so therapy fits everyday life and responsibilities.
