About Susan
Susan Garon is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 20 years of experience. She works from Florida and brings a calm, respectful approach to people facing stress, anxiety, grief, or life changes. She aims to create a space where honest conversation leads to clearer next steps.
She adapts conversations and plans to each person's situation rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. Sessions focus on practical skills and clearer thinking so daily life feels more manageable. Susan emphasizes compassion and sensitivity while helping people sort out relationships, self-esteem, and coping strategies.
Her background includes a range of approaches, and she blends methods to match what a person needs. That might mean skills to manage intense emotions, tools to change unhelpful thinking, or talking through attachment and relationship patterns. She also pays attention to adoption and foster care concerns and aging and geriatric issues when they come up.
People often come to address communication breakdowns, divorce or separation, feelings of isolation, or grief after loss. Susan also works with folks dealing with guilt, shame, questions of purpose, and the ripple effects of trauma such as natural disasters or military-related stress.
Her sessions aim to build practical coping tools and clearer personal goals. She encourages small steps and regular check-ins so progress feels steady. To begin, readers are invited to consider what they most want to change and bring that to the first conversation.
Therapeutic approaches for online work and life challenges
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. The therapist follows the person's lead, reflecting concerns and helping clarify values and choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and routines. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers concrete tools for managing intense emotions and improving day-to-day coping skills.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them over time as needs change.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel and allowing more flexible scheduling. It can also let someone use quieter surroundings or a shorter check-in when time is limited. Many people find that regular online sessions help them practice skills between meetings and keep momentum toward their goals.
