About Susan
Dr. Susan Sult is a Florida psychologist (FL Psychologist PY3854) with 35 years of experience. She works with adults who are juggling stress at home, parenting pressures, relationship strain, mood difficulties, and trauma-related concerns. Her practice covers a range of issues including anxiety, depression, bipolar concerns, addictions, intimacy and relationship problems, and parenting challenges.
Dr. Sult uses straightforward, skills-based methods in sessions. She helps people identify practical changes and teaches techniques they can use between meetings. Conversations focus on current problems and on building tools for handling strong emotions, communication breakdowns, and everyday family strain.
Her background includes long experience treating trauma, dissociation, chronic stress, and attentional difficulties. She has also worked with people affected by chronic illness, grief, and complicated separations. That experience informs an approach that combines behavioral strategies with attention to emotions and relationships.
Sessions draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change unhelpful thinking and patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are offered to manage intense emotion and improve regulation. Emotion-focused methods are used when relationship dynamics and attachment patterns are central concerns.
Outside her clinical work she spends time horseback riding, quilting, and cooking. The overall approach is practical and collaborative, aimed at helping adults make concrete changes in how they handle parenting duties, family conflict, and personal struggles.

DBT teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills useful for handling intense feelings and relationship conflicts.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the early work. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then suggest which approaches to emphasize. That collaborative planning helps make sessions practical and focused on what matters most at home.
Session formats are not listed in the original biography, so confirm the offered options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into busy days, since meetings can be scheduled without travel and can work around child care or work breaks. Online meetings can also allow shorter check-ins when needed or sessions that do not require being on camera for the whole time. Licensed professionals aim to make sessions useful and workable within everyday routines, and Dr. Sult will discuss which format best suits a client's needs when you begin.
