About Susana
Susana (Susie) Hernandez is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) based in Texas with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults and teens on common struggles such as anxiety, depression, stress, relationship concerns, parenting pressures, addictions, and life transitions. Susie also addresses problems like low self-esteem, career stress, grief, ADHD, and intimacy-related issues.
Susie focuses first on building a trusting counseling relationship. She believes that trust helps clients feel they belong and can explore identity and values. Sessions often include discussion of how faith and spirituality fit into a person’s mental health when clients wish to include those elements.
Her approach draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. In practice she helps people name and work with feelings, notice behavior patterns, and try small changes outside sessions. She uses straightforward conversation and practical exercises rather than technical jargon.
Many clients come for help with communication problems, codependency, commitment issues, blended family stress, caregiving burden, and substance concerns. She also supports people dealing with trauma, abuse, body image, eating issues, and the emotional fallout of separation or divorce. Sessions aim to make emotional patterns clearer and more manageable.
Outside work Susie spends time with family at parks, the gym, or cooking. Prospective clients who want to begin can follow the online matching and scheduling steps on the site to set up a first session.
How Susie uses EFT, ACT and attachment ideas online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people recognize hard-to-name emotions and the patterns those feelings create in relationships. It focuses on identifying emotions, connecting them to interaction cycles, and trying new ways of responding to improve closeness and understanding. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) works with values and practical actions. It helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify what matters to them, and take small steps toward those values even when feelings are difficult. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early connection patterns and how they show up now. It helps people understand how attachment needs affect trust, communication, and closeness. Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Susie will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a client’s goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking how they feel, and adjusting the plan together rather than sticking to a single method. Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting counseling into a busy day and lowering travel time so sessions can be shorter or easier to schedule. The original biography does not list the therapist's specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it simpler to include faith or spiritual themes in conversation, to do brief skills practice between meetings, and to keep therapy consistent across life changes.Areas of expertise
