About Susan
Susan Huerta is a licensed mental health counselor with 15 years of experience practicing in Florida. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and addiction. Susan pays attention to the everyday burdens that wear people down and aims to make practical change feel possible.
Her work often focuses on life transitions and relationship strains. She supports people dealing with caregiver stress, workplace pressure, and the fallout from separation or loss.
Background and approach
Anger and difficulties with communication are areas she commonly addresses in sessions. Susan uses an approach that balances skills and exploration. She draws from methods like cognitive behavioral work, acceptance-based tools, and client-centered listening to help people name what matters and make steady changes.
EMDR and DBT ideas are also available when they suit the goals. Sessions usually include clear steps people can use between meetings. That might look like new ways to manage intense emotions, exercises to shift unhelpful thoughts, or practice in calm communication.
The focus is on what feels doable day to day. People who connect with her tend to want practical support and a steady guide through hard moments. She works with each person to set goals and track small wins.
The overall aim is stronger coping, clearer relationships, and more confidence moving forward.

Evidence-informed approaches delivered online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that matter. It helps people frustrated by avoidance or stuck patterns find a sense of direction and purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathic, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist follows the person's lead and supports self-discovery.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Susan will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. She checks in about what helps and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds so the process stays useful and relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is good for in-depth conversation and practicing skills, while phone calls work well when camera use is difficult. Live chat and messaging let people check in between sessions or use shorter, focused exchanges when time is limited. These options help fit therapy around work, caregiving, or mobility limits.
