About Susan
Susan Clark is a licensed marriage and family therapist with nine years of practice in California. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self esteem concerns, and attention difficulties like ADHD. Her approach aims to make sessions feel comfortable and even a little bit fun so young people feel seen and heard.
Susan focuses much of her work on children, adolescents, and young adults who are facing traumatic experiences, victimization, or sex trafficking recovery. She also addresses common childhood behavior challenges and problems with concentration, motivation, and memory. When adoption and foster care issues come up, she brings those concerns into the conversation as part of the person's broader history.
Susan uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to each person's needs. In practice that means clear goals, simple strategies to try between sessions, and regular check-ins about what's helpful. She prioritizes early intervention and believes supporting young people during formative years can change long-term paths.
Sessions aim to build resilience and practical coping skills. Parents and caregivers are invited to discuss how to support young people outside of sessions when appropriate. Susan emphasizes collaboration, patience, and steady progress rather than quick fixes.
If someone wants to begin, they complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on the therapist's availability. The subscription model used for sessions can be canceled at any time, and cost varies with location and timing.
How evidence-based approaches fit into online care
Susan uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients build skills and recover from difficult experiences. One common approach focuses on teaching practical coping strategies for anxiety, stress, and concentration problems - simple tools people can practice between sessions to reduce distress and improve focus. Another approach she relies on centers on trauma-informed care, which helps people process traumatic events at a pace that feels manageable and supports recovery from victimization or abuse.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person and, when appropriate, with caregivers to decide which techniques feel like the best fit for their goals and circumstances. This exploration includes trying methods and checking in about what helps and what does not.
Many people find online therapy helps fit treatment into busy lives because it can reduce travel time and make scheduling easier. Since the original biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current session options before booking so you know whether video or phone visits are available. Online care can make it simpler to keep regular appointments, fit therapy around school or work, and maintain momentum between visits.
