About Susan
Susan Resnik is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, and parenting strains. She also focuses on issues such as codependency, commitment concerns, communication problems, guilt and shame, and self-love.
Susan uses a straightforward, emotion-focused way of working. She helps clients name difficult emotions and notice the patterns that keep them stuck. Sessions often involve talking through recent moments that felt upsetting and tracking how feelings and reactions link together. Susan often supports women and young adults who are sorting out identity, relationships, and life purpose. She helps people who struggle with guilt, shame, and difficulty asking for what they need. The work aims to make emotions easier to understand and act on. She describes her role as a guide who listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps clients try different ways of responding. Sessions are conversational and focused on concrete steps clients can use between meetings. The process is collaborative and paced to the person’s needs.
How her approaches translate to online work
Susan uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify and work with core emotions that shape relationship patterns. EFT-style work names feelings, tracks how they appear in moments of conflict or distress, and helps people try new responses.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and encourage small committed actions. ACT supports people who want to notice unhelpful thoughts without letting them dictate behavior, which can reduce avoidance and increase meaningful activity.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Susan will work with clients to figure out which methods fit the person’s goals and preferences. The plan can change over time as needs shift and new skills are learned.
Session formats are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find that online sessions fit into a busy day more easily, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it simpler to meet from a different location when travel or work schedules change. Therapists can also adapt exercises and homework for use between sessions so progress continues outside the meeting time.
