About Susan

Dr. Susan Lieberman is a licensed psychologist with 24 years of experience in Kansas. She focuses on helping people manage anxiety, depression, stress, and major life changes. She brings a steady, practical approach to sessions and aims to make therapy understandable and useful.

Her work centers on clear goals and skills people can use between sessions. She uses methods that help with mood regulation, coping skills, and improving communication. Sessions often include talking through patterns, trying new behaviors, and practicing ways to respond differently to stress.

Dr. Lieberman has worked with people facing grief, trauma, addiction concerns, and challenges tied to parenting and caregiving. She also supports those dealing with attention differences, chronic illness, and relationship troubles. Her practice notes attention to identity and LGBT concerns alongside life-stage transitions like midlife reevaluation.

She draws on several therapy styles to match each person’s needs, including acceptance-based and cognitive approaches. The goal is to help people clarify values, reduce unhelpful thinking, and build stronger emotional skills. Sessions aim to move from understanding toward concrete steps that fit each person’s life.

People new to therapy can expect a calm, respectful setting where their goals guide the work. Dr. Lieberman invites clients to set the pace and to bring practical problems from day-to-day life into sessions for problem solving.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, midlife reevaluation, and when someone wants clearer direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thinking patterns that keep problems going and practicing new ways of thinking and acting; it often helps with depression, anxiety, worry, and sleep difficulties. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape present patterns and aims to build more secure ways of relating and regulating emotions, which can help with intimacy and relationship concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Sessions are tailored, with room to adjust methods over time if something isn’t working.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific online options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people bring real-life issues from home or work into sessions for immediate problem solving. Licensed professionals can use these formats to focus on skills practice, values-based plans, and communication work that transfer directly to daily routines.
