About Susan
Susan Urtz is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida with 25 years of experience as an LMHC and LCMHC. She works with adults on common struggles such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, low self-esteem, relationship strain, and coping with life changes. Her practice profile lists a broad range of concerns including grief, addictions, career stress, and compassion fatigue.
Urtz focuses on practical, solution-minded help. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness to break down problems into manageable steps. Clients can expect clear conversation about goals and small, actionable strategies to try between sessions.
Her work also covers family-related issues and adoption and foster care concerns, plus attachment and blended family topics. She helps people sort through communication problems, commitment worries, and parenting stress. Urtz has long experience addressing chronic illness, caregiver strain, and the fallout from major life events.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy appear in her approach list, and she draws on client-centered methods as well. That means she pays attention to what clients want to change and uses practical tools from different models to support those aims.
Susan speaks English and practices in Florida. She emphasizes helping people find things they can do differently, rather than offering definitive answers. Prospective clients are encouraged to check the therapist's current session options before scheduling.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed action toward them. It can help when you feel stuck or confused about what matters next in life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, behaviors, and feelings and offers practical techniques to change patterns that keep problems going. That approach is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as needed based on what works for the client.
Confirm session formats before booking since specific online options are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Therapists and licensed professionals use conversational therapy, behavioral exercises, and mindfulness practices that translate into video or phone meetings when those formats are available. Ask about the exact session options when you schedule so you know how sessions will run.
