Susan Hewitt, LCSW

Susan Hewitt is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Indiana and Kentucky with 27 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, compassion fatigue, and issues affecting LGBT people. Her practice also addresses panic attacks, mood disorders, social anxiety, and struggles with guilt and shame.

She uses practical, person-focused methods that bring attention to how thoughts, body sensations, and daily routines interact. Sessions aim to identify patterns that increase distress and try small, concrete changes that fit everyday life. Susan values straightforward conversation and clear steps rather than jargon or long lectures.

Susan's background includes work in both in-patient and outpatient settings. She has experience embedded in schools and primary health care clinics, which shapes a pragmatic approach to coordination with other services when that is needed. Her years in different settings help her recognize how life demands like work, family, and health affect mental health.

Their work with LGBT people and attention to women's health concerns shows up as awareness of identity-related stress and of social pressures that often complicate anxiety and depression. She also addresses divorce and separation, communication problems, forgiveness, and life purpose in routine sessions.

Practical tools are a focus: calming skills for panic, stepwise plans for mood management, and communication practice for relationship strain. People are encouraged to try concrete strategies between sessions and review what works. The first meeting is used to set goals and make a clear plan for next steps.
