About Susan
Susan Resnik is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, and parenting strain. She also focuses on issues such as codependency, commitment concerns, communication problems, and guilt and shame.
Susan uses straightforward, skills-based methods to help people handle day-to-day pressures at home. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts and take actions that match their values. Emotionally-Focused Therapy informs her work around relationship patterns and improving emotional connection in personal relationships.
Sessions tend to be conversational and practical. She helps people break problems into smaller steps and practices new ways of responding. There is often homework or short exercises between meetings so changes can be tried in real life.
Susan has worked with women and young adults on topics like self-love, life purpose, and reducing shame. She also supports people dealing with forgiveness, communication breakdowns, and the weight of parenting responsibilities.
Her style is steady and direct. She listens for what is getting in the way day to day and offers clear, teachable tools to address it. To begin, visitors are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches fit into online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings and choose actions that reflect their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and deciding what matters in strained relationships.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is often used for depression, anxiety, and managing everyday parenting stress.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at emotional responses and interaction patterns in relationships. It can help people recognize repeating patterns that cause distance or conflict and practice different ways of relating.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences and suggest which methods to use. That choice is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.
Confirm the specific session formats available before booking, since they are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Therapists commonly use these options so people can attend from home or work when life is busy, but please verify the exact formats offered for scheduling.
