Susan Huerta, LMHC

Susan Huerta is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor with 15 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing depression, anxiety, addiction, and grief. Her work often centers on life transitions and the practical challenges those changes bring.

She focuses on building everyday coping skills and clearer communication. Sessions tend to aim at reducing panic, easing caregiver stress, and handling workplace pressure. The goal is to strengthen resilience and rebuild self-worth in real life situations.

Susan uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs. That can include strategies that focus on thoughts and behaviors, methods that emphasize present values and action, and trauma-focused techniques when appropriate. She adapts methods to what feels useful for the person in front of her.

Her style is down-to-earth and collaborative. She listens first, then helps people set goals that matter to them. Treatment plans are practical and paced to fit daily life, not just therapy sessions.

People who reach out often want help with relationship stress, family role changes, or the emotional impact of chronic illness and caregiving. Susan supports those navigating divorce, blended family challenges, aging concerns, and finding renewed purpose. She works in English and practices in Florida.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and life transitions where motivation or direction feels unclear.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful thinking and change behaviors that keep problems like depression or panic going.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is a trauma-focused method that can reduce the emotional intensity of past events. It may be offered when trauma or abuse contributes to current symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then suggest methods to try. That decision is made together and can change as progress is made.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as shorter check-ins during a lunch break or scheduling around caregiving duties. It can also reduce travel time and help people continue care when life circumstances shift. Confirm the exact session options before booking to know what formats are available for scheduling.
