About Susan
Dr. Susan Sult is a Florida Psychologist (FL Psychologist PY3854) with 35 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, mood disorders, relationship and intimacy concerns, addictions, sleep and eating problems, parenting strain, career worries, and attention difficulties. She also supports people dealing with a wide range of related issues such as attachment problems, codependency, and chronic illness.
She takes a direct, practical approach in sessions. She and the person she sees set clear goals and talk through what needs to change. She explains techniques in plain language and shows how to use them between sessions.
Her work draws on cognitive-behavioral methods to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. She also uses solution-focused ideas to identify small, concrete steps that move things forward. Emotionally-focused and mindfulness practices appear when attention to feelings and present-moment awareness will help make progress.
Dr. Sult has long experience with trauma, dissociation, and complex grief. She also has experience addressing relationship breakups, blended family stress, and intimacy-related concerns, including work with adults involved in alternative sexual cultures. She helps people who notice patterns such as fear of abandonment or difficulty with trust and commitment.
Outside of clinical work she enjoys horseback riding, quilting, and cooking. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session through the online therapy options button.
How her approaches translate to online work
Dr. Sult uses cognitive-behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy in ways that are easy to apply to online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors, which often includes homework tasks and clear skill practice. DBT offers emotion-regulation and distress-tolerance skills that can be taught, practiced, and reviewed during remote meetings.She also draws on emotionally-focused and mindfulness practices when attention to feelings or present-moment awareness will help. These approaches support work on relationships, attachment patterns, and managing intense states. Choosing the right combination of methods is collaborative; she and the client decide together based on goals, what feels useful, and how the client prefers to work.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week, shorter check-ins when needed, and easier access from different locations. Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. The therapist will discuss how to structure sessions so they fit into everyday life while focusing on concrete steps and skill building.
