About Susan

Susan Frambes is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New Jersey with 30 years of experience. She works with adults who face depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction, relationship stress, grief, and life transitions. Her practice also addresses self-esteem, career concerns, eating and sleeping problems, and compassion fatigue.

Susan has long experience supporting people who have endured childhood trauma, physical or emotional abuse, stalking, and domestic violence. She helps clients sort through painful memories, manage symptoms, and make practical changes that fit everyday life. Her work is direct and focused on what a person needs now.

Her approach mixes client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral strategies and trauma-focused work. She uses mindfulness techniques and supportive methods to help reduce distress and improve coping. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with attention to thoughts, behaviors, and present-day functioning.

Susan often addresses family-of-origin issues, communication problems, codependency, abandonment concerns, and the emotional impact of divorce or separation. She also helps people dealing with aging issues, body image, guilt and shame, and the effects of natural or human-caused disaster.

She works in English and draws on decades of practice to help clients set achievable goals. Practical steps, clearer thinking, and steady tracking of progress are regular parts of her work. To begin, clients follow the site's intake steps and schedule a first session.

BHow sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Susan uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in ways that fit remote sessions. Client-centered therapy means she listens closely to what matters to the client and follows their priorities while helping them articulate goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing practical behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. She will work with the person to decide which methods to emphasize based on goals, current problems, and what feels most useful. Adjustments are common as the work progresses and new priorities emerge.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy routine, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Therapists generally adapt CBT exercises, trauma-focused discussions, and mindfulness practices to work in remote appointments so clients can continue practical, skills-focused work even when they cannot attend in person.
