About Susan
Susan Stever is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people manage strong emotions and stressful life changes. She focuses on clear, practical steps for issues like anger, anxiety, depression, and addiction. Her manner is warm and direct, aimed at helping people feel heard and steady again.
Susan draws on a mix of evidence-based tools to shape each session to what the client needs. She uses cognitive-behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and build different habits.
Background and approach
Mindfulness practices and acceptance strategies are woven in to calm the body and reduce reactivity. Her background includes five years of clinical work in Utah, including experience supporting people coming out of incarceration through behavior change and planning. That work informs a practical focus on concrete goals and step-by-step change.
She avoids stigmatizing labels and meets people where they are. Sessions are intended to be collaborative. Susan listens first, then helps set short-term goals and small, doable actions.
She mixes talk, skill practice, and homework so progress continues between sessions. People who choose her often want straightforward guidance on managing anger, repairing relationships, coping with trauma, or making career and life adjustments. The style is compassionate and interactive, with a consistent emphasis on respect and safety.

How Susan Uses Therapy Approaches Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting swept away by them and then commit to actions that match their values. It can be useful for anger, anxiety, and adjusting to life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behavior patterns and replacing them with more helpful responses, which often reduces reactivity and improves mood.Susan treats choosing an approach as a collaborative process. She listens to what you want to change, discusses which methods might fit those goals, and adjusts plans over time. Together you set short-term goals and practical steps, and she checks in to see what is or isn't working.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video allows face-to-face conversation and skill demonstration, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting, or travel while keeping a steady pace of progress.
