About Susan

Dr. Susan Sult is a Florida psychologist with 35 years of experience. She helps people facing anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, and struggles with addiction and mood disorders. She also supports people having trouble with sleep, eating, concentration, parenting, and self-esteem.

Her approach blends Emotionally-Focused Therapy with cognitive-behavioral and dialectical behavior tools. She uses straightforward, goal-focused methods so people can notice small changes that matter. Sessions are collaborative - she talks with clients about what to try and why it might help.

Dr. Sult has worked across many settings over decades, helping people with grief, chronic illness, dissociation, abandonment concerns, and complex relationships. She also addresses issues tied to body image, codependency, commitment problems, blended family dynamics, and sexual expression concerns such as BDSM and kink-related topics.

In sessions she teaches practical skills drawn from CBT, DBT, and mindfulness alongside emotionally focused work aimed at understanding patterns in relationships and attachment. Clients can expect clear explanations of techniques and an emphasis on real-life application between meetings.

Outside clinical work she enjoys horseback riding, quilting, cooking, and spending time with family and friends. To begin, the site guides people through a short matching questionnaire and scheduling process for a first session.

How her approaches translate to online work

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name and work with strong emotions and attachment patterns so relationships and personal responses feel clearer. EFT is often helpful for people who want to understand why certain interactions or feelings repeat in their life.

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. CBT offers concrete exercises and homework to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or manage mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) brings skills for regulating intense emotion, tolerating distress, and improving communication, which can be useful for mood instability and relationship strain.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and situation, and she may combine elements from EFT, CBT, and DBT depending on what the client needs.

Confirm the session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list specific online options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Clients should check current format options and scheduling details during the initial matching and booking steps.
