About Sus
Sus Austill is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida with 37 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, ADHD, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, and compassion fatigue. Sessions are offered in English and Danish, and she accepts international clients.
Sus draws on long professional experience in outpatient, residential, and inpatient settings. She also speaks from long-term recovery and many years of parenting, which shape how she listens and what tools she offers. In practice she mixes straightforward conversation with practical methods aimed at day-to-day coping.
Her work combines client-centered listening with specific strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing. She uses narrative methods to help people make sense of painful events. Mindfulness techniques are included to ease anxiety and stress.
Sus commonly addresses substance use and addiction with recovery-focused approaches and motivational interviewing. She also helps people process traumatic events, moral injury, and caregiver or first responder stress. When immediate safety or crisis care is needed she draws on her crisis stabilization background.
Clients can expect a focus on practical tools alongside space to tell their story. She uses genograms and other family-oriented tools when family history or systems matter. Sessions emphasize clear steps to manage symptoms, rebuild routines, and reduce impulsivity or isolation.

BHow sessions work
How therapeutic approaches are used in online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience without imposing solutions. It helps when someone needs to be heard and to make their own choices about change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful behavior patterns.
Motivational Interviewing is a conversational style that supports people with substance use or change-related decisions. It helps clarify motivations and build commitment to small, workable steps.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That discussion can change over time as goals and circumstances shift.
If you want online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. The practice uses a subscription billing model that can be canceled at any time. Many people choose online work to fit sessions into busy days, to have shorter check-ins when needed, or to avoid travel so therapy fits around work, medical care, or family responsibilities.
