About Susan
Susan Cockrell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Texas and Arizona with five years of clinical experience. She focuses on issues such as addiction, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, parenting, and life changes. Sessions are offered in English and she works with adults coping with a range of stressors and transitions.
Susan uses clear, practical methods to help people sort out immediate problems. She draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and on acceptance and commitment therapy to clarify values and take meaningful steps. Dialectical behavior strategies and client-centered listening are also part of her toolbox.
People often come for help with self-esteem, intimacy-related issues, grief, or career stress. Susan also supports those facing family-of-origin struggles, blended family issues, caregiver strain, chronic illness, and substance use concerns. She includes the focus areas people name and works alongside them to set realistic goals.
Sessions follow a straightforward, problem-solving rhythm. Conversations tend to include skill-building, goal planning, and reflection on patterns that repeat across relationships. Practical tools and short exercises are commonly used between sessions to keep progress moving.
