About Susan
Susan Hallett is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in California with 15 years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. Susan also addresses communication problems, forgiveness, life purpose, and developing self-love.
She works in a straightforward way that helps people sort out what matters most right now. Sessions typically involve talking through current problems, identifying small steps that fit daily life, and checking how those steps are working. The emphasis is on practical strategies and noticing personal strengths that already exist.
Susan frames the client as the expert on their story. She offers guidance and feedback while people describe their concerns and goals. This can include naming patterns that get in the way and trying new ways of responding when old approaches no longer help.
When grief or loss is the focus, she helps people organize the immediate tasks and also attend to how emotions are showing up day to day. For stress and anxiety she uses short, concrete tools to reduce overwhelm and to increase confidence in handling harder moments.
People looking for help with self-esteem, purpose, or forgiveness are invited to explore practical choices and habits that support change. Susan encourages step-by-step progress rather than large leaps. To begin, she asks a few questions about current priorities and then outlines simple next steps so people can see what the work will look like.
BHow sessions work
Approach and what online sessions cover
Online sessions with Susan draw on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. Cognitive-based methods help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and teach simple tools to reduce anxiety or negative self-talk. Behavioral strategies focus on small, testable actions that build confidence and change daily routines when depression or low motivation are present. Finding the best approach is part of the work together. She collaborates with each person to choose techniques that match their goals and everyday life. That means trying an approach, checking how it feels, and adapting the plan if something is not fitting. Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since the biography does not list specific session formats. Ask which formats are available and how they fit your schedule. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy around work, family, or medical appointments because they remove travel and can shorten the overall time commitment. Others like the option to have brief check-ins when a quick adjustment or support is needed. Confirm current session options with the therapist when arranging the first appointment.CAreas of focus
