About Susan
Susan Resnik is a Florida licensed mental health counselor, LMHC, with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, grief, parenting concerns, and young adult issues. She also focuses on codependency, communication problems, commitment concerns, and struggles with guilt and shame.
Susan takes a straightforward, person-focused approach. Sessions involve talking through current problems, identifying patterns that cause distress, and practicing new ways of coping. She uses methods that help clients notice thoughts and emotions, build skills, and make values-based choices.
Her practice often supports women and young adults who are sorting out identity, early-career challenges, relationship stress, or questions about life purpose. She helps people work on self-love, forgiveness, and clearer communication with others. Practical tools are paired with conversations about feelings and goals.
Susan draws on several evidence-informed approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. Those methods are applied in service of specific problems rather than as labels for people.
She works by setting clear goals together and tracking small steps toward them. Typical work can include skill-building for anxiety, exercises to shift unhelpful thinking, and guided conversations about relationship patterns. Prospective clients should confirm session options before booking.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites clients to clarify what matters to them and to take small committed steps toward those values while learning to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, directionlessness, and life-purpose questions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing them with practical experiments and skills to reduce distress. CBT is commonly used for anxiety and depression. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people understand and change patterns in close relationships by exploring emotions and interaction cycles that maintain distance or conflict.Susan treats choosing the best approach as a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences, explain how different methods might help, and try approaches that fit the client’s needs. The choice of method can shift as work progresses and as priorities change.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time for appointments. For many young adults this flexibility helps keep therapy consistent while juggling school, work, and relationships.
