About Susan
Susan Frey is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with two decades of clinical experience. She focuses on practical strategies to help people manage stress, anxiety, anger, depression, addictions, grief, and life transitions. Susan writes plainly and keeps sessions goal-oriented so people can see small shifts that add up.
Before counseling she completed a Bachelor of Science at York College of Pennsylvania and a master’s degree in counseling psychology from Seton Hall University.
Background and approach
Her own life change helped steer her into this work, which gives her a grounded perspective on sudden disruptions and recovery. Susan leans on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, using it most often to help clients notice unhelpful patterns and build different habits. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and brief solution-focused approaches when those fit the client’s needs and goals.
In sessions she breaks things down into manageable steps. That might mean tracking thoughts and behaviors for a week, testing a new coping skill, or setting a small communication goal. She emphasizes clear, achievable actions rather than long abstractions.
Her background includes work with substance and process addictions, bipolar disorder, panic and panic attacks, and issues related to aging and visual impairment. Susan aims to help people regain day-to-day functioning and feel more confident handling stressors.

How evidence-based approaches work online
Susan commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns through practical exercises like thought records and behavioral experiments. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on identifying personal values and building actions that move a person toward those values while learning to accept difficult feelings.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, try approaches that fit, and adjust methods based on what helps most. That means sessions may begin with CBT exercises and shift to ACT or solution-focused steps if that better meets the client’s needs.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video works well for in-depth conversations and visual cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be useful for brief check-ins, and messaging helps people share thoughts between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family routines, or mobility limits while keeping a steady course toward goals.
