About Susan
Susan Rhodes is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 20 years in the mental health field. She works in Texas and helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, trauma, relationship and intimacy issues, and related concerns. Susan describes her style as creative and open-minded and is direct about setting practical steps forward.
Susan draws on diverse workplace experience to shape how she meets people. She uses what she has learned personally and professionally to engage clients in clear, actionable work. In sessions she focuses on steps for healing, personal inventories, and actions that support recovery.
Her approach blends client-centered conversation with cognitive behavioral techniques, motivational interviewing, narrative methods, and psychodynamic ideas. That mix is used to clarify patterns, build short-term coping skills, and consider deeper life themes. Susan helps people name problems, try different responses, and track what changes.
She often works with people who want change even when it feels hard to confront. Sessions include discussion of roles in relationships, practical plans for coping, and referrals to community resources when those are helpful. She aims to create a treatment plan that fits someone’s pace and style.
Outside of work she trains for marathons, cooks, takes day trips, and stays involved in community projects. Her background combines long clinical experience with an active personal commitment to growth, which informs how she supports clients in day-to-day life.
BHow sessions work
How Susan’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and helping the person set their own goals. Online sessions using this approach are often conversational and concentrate on what matters day to day. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In remote sessions CBT tools are used to identify patterns and set small, practical experiments to try between meetings. Motivational Interviewing supports change by exploring ambivalence and building motivation for specific goals. It is useful for addictions, behavior change, or when someone feels stuck.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Susan will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means checking in about what is helping, adjusting strategies, and agreeing on practical next steps together.
Confirm session formats before booking so you know what options are offered. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into work or family schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Some formats are better for talking through concrete problems while others suit longer reflective work; Susan will help match session structure to your goals so therapy fits into everyday life.
