About Susan

Rev. Susan Sciarratta is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and coping with life changes such as midlife transitions. She also supports people facing relationship strain, parenting challenges, career questions, and struggles with self-esteem and motivation.

Before becoming a counselor, she spent 20 years working as a professional engineer. That background contributes to a practical, problem-solving approach in sessions. She draws on 12 years of counseling experience to tailor conversations and plans to each person’s needs.

Sessions focus on clear goals and steady progress. She listens without judgment and helps people identify small, manageable steps. The work can include talking through current difficulties, building coping strategies, and finding ways to boost confidence and motivation.

Susan emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in her work. She aims to empower people who want change and to support steady movement toward their goals. Clients can expect a collaborative tone and a focus on what makes sense for their life.

Her practice includes a range of concerns such as trauma and abuse, caregiver stress, hospice and end-of-life counseling, fertility issues, and feelings of isolation. She encourages anyone considering therapy to reflect on what they want to change and to reach out when ready to take the next step.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Rev. Susan Sciarratta uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical change. One common approach she uses emphasizes problem-solving and building coping skills. This method breaks issues into manageable parts and teaches concrete tools to reduce stress and anxiety. Another frequent focus is work on motivation and self-esteem, which involves identifying small goals, practicing new behaviors, and reinforcing successes to build confidence.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which techniques match their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is revisited over time so the plan stays helpful and relevant.

If you are considering online therapy, check the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and removes travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when schedules require a quick update, or sessions that focus on specific skills practice between meetings. Talk with the therapist about how to shape sessions so they align with daily life and the changes you want to make.
