About Susan
Susan Galewaler is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 30 years of clinical experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and depression. Susan also helps people dealing with abandonment, attachment concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, and issues like guilt, shame, and isolation.
Her style centers on clear conversation and practical steps. She aims to help people name what feels overwhelming and find manageable ways to respond. Sessions focus on communication skills, understanding relationship patterns, and coping tools for strong emotions.
Susan has experience with families facing custody difficulties and has co-authored an educational book for family therapists about assessing families and children in those cases. That background informs how she thinks about family dynamics and parenting stress when it affects an individual client.
Clients can expect straightforward discussion about current problems and history that matters to those problems. She listens for patterns related to attachment, control, or past hurts and then works with the person to try alternative responses. The emphasis is on usable strategies rather than long theory talks.
Her practice also attends to life-stage questions like purpose, role strain, and the stress of major transitions. People often bring concerns about relationships, work stress, or the fallout from past trauma, and Susan focuses on helping them build clearer thinking and steadier reactions.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online sessions
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques cover a range of practical approaches that target symptoms and everyday problems. One common approach focuses on skills for managing anxiety and strong emotions - it teaches breathing and attention strategies, and ways to test unhelpful thoughts so feelings become easier to handle. Another approach looks at relationship and attachment patterns, helping people notice repeating dynamics and try different ways of communicating and setting boundaries that reduce conflict.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals and preferences, and adjustments are made as progress and needs change. That collaboration helps tailor sessions to what feels most useful in daily life.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available online options before booking.

It also lets people keep continuity during moves or while traveling. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework for remote sessions so the work continues between meetings.
