About Susan

Susan Pittman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Indiana with 14 years of professional experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and issues with self-esteem and motivation.

Susan focuses on straightforward conversation and practical steps. Sessions are a place to talk through pressing concerns and to try small changes that can make daily life easier. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address symptoms and patterns that get in the way of functioning and connection.

Her approach is collaborative. She listens for patterns in relationships, coping habits, and self-talk, then suggests specific skills to practice between sessions. That can include communication strategies, grounding and emotion regulation exercises, and planning ways to reduce overwhelm at home or work.

Susan has worked in social work settings for over a decade and has eight years as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. That background includes helping people through loss, separation, caregiving stress, addiction concerns, and identity issues such as avoidance and dependency patterns.

Practical matters are part of the work. She can help with concrete problems like caregiving strain, communication breakdowns, or managing anger and control issues. Sessions aim to be straightforward and useful, with steps you can try between meetings.

To begin, people typically complete a brief questionnaire and schedule a first session to set goals and priorities. Susan speaks English and practices from Indiana as an LCSW.

BHow sessions work

Evidence-based techniques and online therapy

Many evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on learning skills and changing behaviors. Cognitive behavioral approaches look at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teach practical tools to reduce anxiety and depression. Trauma-informed strategies focus on stabilizing reactions and building coping skills to manage distressing memories or responses.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which techniques fit their goals and preferences. That conversation guides whether the focus is skills practice, processing painful events, or addressing relationship patterns.

Confirm the current session formats before booking so you know how you will meet. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow follow-up appointments during work breaks or between caregiving tasks. It can also let people use a shorter check-in visit when needed or choose a session that does not require being on camera. Ask about session options when you complete the matching questionnaire so practical arrangements match your routine.
