About Susan
Susan Banco is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, listed as LCSW and LCSW-R in New York, with 30 years of experience. She has worked in community settings, schools, and day programs where she provided counseling and trained other social workers. She helps people handle stress, anxiety, relationship and parenting concerns, and issues such as addiction, grief, life changes, and career challenges.
Susan uses a conversational, client-centered style. Sessions aim to give practical tools and clearer options for making life changes. She combines several approaches to match what a person needs rather than using a single fixed method.
Her practice focuses on family and partner relationships, parenting matters, and transitions like divorce, college entry, or financial shifts. She also offers coaching for anxiety, work and career problems, and alcohol or drug-related concerns. Other areas she addresses include self-esteem, intimacy-related issues, eating and anger concerns, and coping with grief.
Susan draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify patterns and try small changes. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy are used when the goal is concrete steps and short-term planning. Narrative Therapy can help people reframe difficult experiences and regain perspective.
Sessions are conducted in English and Susan does not take international clients. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a prospective client completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Susan commonly draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so a person can explore choices and priorities. It helps when someone needs a steady, conversational space to clarify what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and uses concrete exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and practical coping skills.She also uses Motivational Interviewing when someone wants to change a habit or make a tough decision. That approach concentrates on clarifying motivation and small next steps. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process; the therapist will talk with each person about their goals and try strategies that fit their needs and preferences.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. Many people find remote sessions help fit therapy into work, family, and other obligations because they can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a workday, or avoid needing to be on camera for every visit. Discussing practical scheduling needs and preferences is part of the first meeting, and the therapist will work with clients to make sessions workable within everyday life.
