About Susana
Susana Alarcon Jimenez is an ACA counsellor with six years' experience working with adults in Australia. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, family and parenting concerns, low self-esteem, and depression. She offers sessions in English and Spanish and works from values of equality and inclusion.
Susana uses several therapy styles to match each person’s needs rather than one fixed method. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Client-Centred approaches and Narrative and Mindfulness therapies. Sessions focus on practical steps, clearer thinking, and building everyday coping skills.
People commonly come to her with family difficulties, communication problems, blended family concerns, separation and divorce issues, and challenges around fatherhood or caregiving stress. She also works with people facing abandonment, body image, guilt and shame, immigration and infidelity issues. Cases often combine emotional and practical pressures, and she aims to address both.
In sessions she encourages open conversation and straightforward problem solving. She uses listening, reflective questions and behavioural ideas to help people test different ways of coping. Her practice places emphasis on cultural sensitivity and ongoing professional learning.
Susana asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session via the online booking flow. Costs vary by location and are managed through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
Therapy approaches that translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate actions. It supports people who want clearer values and small steps toward a life that matters to them. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying different behaviours to reduce anxiety and low mood. It is useful for stress, anxiety and depression because it breaks problems into manageable parts.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your goals, preferences and daily life and suggest which methods to try first. You can review what works and adjust the approach as therapy progresses so it fits your needs and pace.
The original profile does not list explicit session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around study, shifts or work commutes. They also allow shorter check-ins when time is tight and let people choose quieter surroundings or a video-free option depending on comfort. Susana also offers sessions in English and Spanish, and she will discuss practical arrangements when you schedule your first meeting.
