About Susan
Susan Jordan-Kertzner is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Colorado with 19 years of clinical experience. She works with young adults on stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, low self-esteem, career concerns, depression, LGBT issues, trauma and grief. Her practice also includes support for parenting and ADHD-related challenges.
She describes a collaborative style that combines practical talk and skills work. Sessions focus on identifying what is getting in the way and testing small, realistic changes. Expect conversations about thoughts, behavior patterns, and ways to manage intense emotions.
Susan draws on several clinical approaches to guide her work. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and to practice new behaviors. She also incorporates acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and build committed action toward goals.
Attachment-based ideas inform how she looks at relationship patterns and long-standing responses to stress. Dialectical behavior therapy strategies are used for emotion regulation and distress tolerance when those skills are needed.
Susan also offers executive coaching elements for career planning and life purpose questions. Sessions are practical and goal-oriented while still allowing space to process grief, trauma, and big life changes. She accepts international clients and conducts work in English.
To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site. The subscription model is used for sessions and can be canceled at any time.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that reflect what matters to them. It is useful when someone feels pulled in different directions or unsure about life purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers concrete exercises to test new ways of thinking and acting. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and practical problem solving.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Susan will discuss methods and options with each client and make decisions together based on the person's goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to what is most useful and sustainable for early adulthood challenges like work, study, relationships, and moving toward career steps.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not listed here. The practical upside of doing therapy online is it can fit more easily into a daily routine - making it simpler to book around classes, shifts, or commuting. Online options can also allow for shorter check-ins when needed, reduce the need to travel, and make it easier to keep consistent sessions while managing busy schedules.
