Susana Deltoro, LPC

Susana Deltoro is a bilingual Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and midlife transitions. She speaks English and Spanish and draws on 11 years of clinical experience to guide practical steps forward. Susana aims to make therapy straightforward and approachable for people feeling stuck or overwhelmed.

She earned a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling from the University of the Southwest and graduated Magna Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology. During her master’s internship she worked at Santa Maria Hostel in Houston, focusing on co-occurring disorders in women and family contexts and facilitating both intensive and outpatient group therapy.

Susana uses a person-centered, strength-based style. She meets people where they are and focuses on practical changes. Sessions often include goal-setting, skill practice, and using everyday strengths to manage stress and improve relationships.

Her clinical approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness practices, Existential therapy ideas, and Client-Centered principles. These methods are used to address mood, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting concerns, identity and life-purpose questions, and other changes that occur in midlife.

People can expect a calm, respectful clinician who values cultural context and multicultural concerns. Susana’s background working with addiction and co-occurring concerns informs a flexible approach that considers family patterns, communication problems, codependency, and caregiver stress.

Approaches that guide online conversations

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to a person’s own goals. The therapist creates space for the client to lead, then helps clarify what matters and what small changes to try. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, behaviors, and feelings and teaches specific skills to reduce anxiety or depressive patterns. It works well for stress, sleep problems, and decision-making during life transitions. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels unsure about change; it uses guided questions to surface motivations and set manageable next steps.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, preferences, and goals, and then suggest a mix of techniques. Together they review what’s working and adapt the plan over time so sessions stay useful and relevant.

Confirm current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use video or audio depending on their comfort and bandwidth. Licensed professionals aim to tailor pacing and exercises so therapeutic work fits into everyday routines.
