About Susan
Susan Land is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in California and a LCSW-C licensed in Maryland with more than 40 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression, and coping with life changes. Susan uses practical, down-to-earth conversation to help people sort priorities and handle day-to-day pressures.
She helps people break large problems into manageable steps. Sessions often involve clarifying what matters most, identifying patterns that cause distress, and trying small behavior changes to reduce overwhelm. Susan pays attention to how work, family responsibilities, finances, and health interact with mood and relationships.
Her practice also addresses specific concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, codependency, and communication problems. She supports people facing separation or divorce, commitment doubts, and the effects of dissociation or co-morbid conditions. The approach is practical rather than abstract - discussing what to try this week and how to notice if it helps.
Susan draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques in her work while keeping conversations straightforward. She offers a steady, experienced perspective when life feels chaotic or when past hurt keeps resurfacing. The focus is on clear goals and realistic steps toward improved daily functioning.
To begin, a prospective client completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session. Susan then collaborates with each person to set priorities and plan manageable next steps.
BHow sessions work
How evidence-based techniques guide online sessions
Many clients benefit from approaches that focus on present-day problems and practical skills. Cognitive techniques help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try different ways of responding to stress and anxiety. These techniques are useful for mood concerns, worry, and everyday decision making.Behavioral methods involve testing small changes and building routines that reduce overwhelm. That can mean breaking tasks into steps, creating brief behavioral experiments, or using simple strategies to manage sleep, activity, or pain. These methods are aimed at improving daily functioning and coping with life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that fit the person's goals, preferences, and current situation. Decisions about technique are reviewed and adjusted as progress is observed.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow a quicker check-in between other responsibilities. For practical reasons, some people prefer phone sessions for lower bandwidth or shorter check-ins, while others choose video when visual connection helps the conversation.
