About Susana
Susana (Susie) Hernandez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults and teens on common early adult concerns such as anxiety, career stress, relationship strain, and life transitions. She also helps with depression, addiction, grief, and ADHD-related challenges.
Susie prioritizes the therapeutic relationship. She focuses on building trust first so clients can speak honestly. She frames therapy as a place to test out who you are and to work on belonging and identity. She also integrates faith and spirituality when clients want that included.
Her sessions often address communication problems, commitment and intimacy issues, and family-related stress. She supports people facing parenting strain, caregiver burnout, body image worries, and substance use challenges. She also works on coping skills for trauma, abandonment concerns, and blended family tensions.
Clinically, she draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. She uses these methods to help clients notice patterns, try small behavior changes, and practice new ways of relating.
Outside of work Susie spends time with family at the park, goes to the gym, and enjoys cooking. Her practical approach is focused on daily life - making progress that fits typical schedules and real-world demands.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and decisions about work or relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought patterns and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like worry or low mood. It works well for anxiety, depression, and coping with life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connection styles affect current relationships and helps people try new ways of relating to partners and family.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to pick methods that fit goals, preferences, and everyday demands. That means checking what helps in early sessions and adjusting based on progress and feedback.
The original biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Many clients find online sessions help fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins during work breaks, and remove travel time. Others prefer sessions that let them focus on body-based DBT skills or practice communication in real time. Talk with the therapist about what will fit your schedule and what kinds of session structure you want.
