About Susana
Susana (Susie) Hernandez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with five years of clinical experience. She focuses on common concerns people bring when home life feels strained, such as stress, anxiety, depression, parenting pressures, relationship problems, and addictions. Susie also supports adults who are coping with grief, major life changes, career strain, ADHD, and intimacy-related issues.
She places the counseling relationship first and looks to build trust before moving into deeper work. Susie uses that connection to help people clarify their sense of identity and their place in family and community. She often integrates clients' faith and spirituality when asked to do so.
Susie draws on a mix of practical approaches to address thinking, emotions, and behaviors. She uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot patterns that keep problems going. She also uses skills from dialectical behavior therapy to manage strong emotions and reduce reactive behaviors.
Attachment-based ideas guide her when family or early relationships are part of the problem. Client-centered methods shape how she listens and responds in sessions so people feel heard while they try different ways of coping.
Outside of work she spends time with family at the park or gym and enjoys cooking. Those everyday interests inform her down-to-earth style and how she talks about household and parenting stresses with adults.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Susie draws on several evidence-informed methods to help people with family and parenting stresses, mood concerns, and addiction-related problems. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while focusing on meaningful action; it can be useful for anxiety, life transitions, and values-based decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and teaches practical skills for shifting them, which often helps with depression, worry, and routine stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current family interactions and communication, and it can be helpful when people want to change how they relate to partners or parents.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Susie will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means trying techniques, reviewing what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than offering a fixed protocol from the start.
The therapist's profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a workday, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time so they can keep appointments during busy weeks. Licensed professionals can use different formats to accommodate quieter surroundings, lower bandwidth, or sessions that focus on skill practice rather than long talk therapy. Discuss format preferences during the initial scheduling step.
