Susan Toth, LISW-CP

Susan Toth is a licensed social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and the challenges of midlife transitions. She brings 16 years of experience to conversations about grief, addiction, parenting strain, sleep problems, and career concerns. Her approach aims to be calm and practical when life feels overwhelming.

Susan uses a collaborative, client-centered style that focuses on what the person bringing problems to therapy wants to achieve. She listens first, then helps set clear, doable goals. Sessions often include simple skills and exercises to manage intense emotions and improve daily coping.

Her work draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and to build new behavior patterns. Mindfulness practices are offered to reduce reactivity and support better self-awareness. Solution-focused ideas help break big problems into small, solvable steps.

Susan has supported people dealing with attachment issues, caregiver stress, codependency, infidelity, and family-of-origin concerns. She also addresses domestic violence survivors, substance use worries, and communication problems, helping people make changes that fit their lives.

Clients describe practical tasks, clearer communication, and steadier mood as common outcomes of her work. She practices in South Carolina as an LISW-CP (Licensed Independent Social Worker - Clinical Practice). If someone wants to begin, the process starts with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling based on availability.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person in front of the therapist. It helps people clarify goals and feel understood before moving into change work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change patterns that cause distress; it can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals, try different techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps most. Collaboration means checking in about what feels useful and changing direction if needed.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use mindfulness exercises and CBT homework in the context of daily life, which can speed up learning and make skills more practical.
