Susan King, LMFT

Susan King is an LMFT who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship challenges, and the upheaval that can come with midlife changes. She works with worries about self-esteem, sleep and eating concerns, addiction, and mood struggles like depression and bipolar disorder. Her style aims to be warm and straightforward so people can feel heard and start making shifts.

She brings seven years of clinical practice and draws on both professional and personal experience with transitions and life stress. Susan emphasizes the relationship between therapist and client as the foundation for change. She aims to tailor each plan to what a person needs right now rather than use a one-size-fits-all method.

The approach in sessions is relational and practical. Conversations look at unhelpful patterns and build concrete skills for daily life. She uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to address thinking and behavior, and she integrates mindfulness and emotion-focused work when helpful.

Susan also uses attachment-based ideas to understand how early relationships shape current reactions. Dialectical behavior therapy tools may be offered for managing strong emotions and building coping skills. Sessions are intended to support steady progress during hard transitions and moments of confusion.

People who choose Susan often want a therapist who listens closely, explains what is happening, and helps them practice new ways of responding. To begin, she asks people to consider their current priorities so work focuses on what matters most.

Approaches that shape online work

Susan draws from attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships influence current patterns and reactions. That approach helps when people want to understand why certain situations trigger intense feelings or repeated behaviors.

She also uses client-centered therapy, which centers the conversation on the person's experience and goals. This style focuses on listening closely and helping people name what matters most so sessions stay relevant and practical.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust those choices as progress is made.

The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find that online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by removing commute time or allowing a shorter check-in during a break. Online meetings can also make it simpler to practice skills between sessions and bring real-life examples straight into conversations with a licensed professional.
