About Susanne
Susanne Jenemann is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in New York with 20 years of professional experience. She has worked with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, self-esteem and motivation. Susanne frames clients as experts in their own stories and focuses on practical steps they can use to feel steadier at home and in relationships.
Her background includes long-term clinical work that centers on family and parenting concerns among other areas. She listens for how past family relationships shape current patterns. From there she helps people notice strengths they already have and try small changes that reduce conflict or overwhelm.
Sessions tend to emphasize clear, respectful conversation and practical coping skills. She draws on narrative ideas to help people reframe difficult experiences. The Gottman Method informs her work with communication and problem-solving tied to relationship concerns.
For trauma-related issues she uses trauma-focused approaches alongside Internal Family Systems ideas to clarify different parts of a person’s experience. These approaches guide gentle pacing and attention to emotional safety while working through painful memories.
Susanne also attends to cultural background, discrimination, and the particular stresses that can come from caregiving or compassion fatigue. She supports people navigating parenting challenges, family-of-origin issues, and questions about identity within relationships.
How sessions work
How Susanne uses therapeutic approaches online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and recognizing a person’s own goals. It helps with stress, self-esteem, and decisions about family roles by centering the client’s priorities and pacing.The Gottman Method offers concrete tools for communication and problem-solving in relationships. It is useful for people wanting clearer conversations and fewer recurring arguments.
Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from painful stories and look for alternative ways they want to live. It can be helpful for grief, shame, and family-of-origin concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Susanne discusses options and adapts methods based on a person’s goals, history, and comfort level. She collaborates with clients to decide which approaches to emphasize and adjusts as therapy progresses.
Confirm current session options before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around work and caregiving, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when life is busy. Therapists, including licensed professionals, can use these formats to keep continuity of care and maintain therapeutic momentum between in-person visits when that suits someone’s needs.
