About Susan
Susan Huerta is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida with 15 years of clinical experience. She focuses on supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and addiction. Her work often centers on everyday problems like communication breakdowns, low self-esteem, and coping with major life changes.
She blends practical skills and compassionate listening. Sessions aim to help clients manage strong emotions, reduce overwhelming thoughts, and rebuild routines that feel sustainable.
Background and approach
She also helps people facing caregiver strain, chronic illness, or the challenges of aging. Susan uses several well-known approaches to match what a person needs. That can mean learning new ways to respond to stress, practicing techniques to shift unhelpful thoughts, or processing past hurt that still causes trouble today.
She explains tools in simple terms and practices them together with the person in session. Her style is calm and direct. She emphasizes collaboration - clients set goals and Susan helps find workable steps toward them.
Many sessions focus on real-life skills that can be used between meetings. People come to Susan for a range of concerns including relationship problems, substance use struggles, grief after a loss, and career stress. She works in English and sees clients who live in Florida.
To begin, someone selects the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules a first session according to availability.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take action toward what matters. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches concrete ways to shift unhelpful thinking and behavior for issues like depression and anxiety. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) can be used to process painful memories that continue to cause distress, easing the intensity of those memories over time.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and together they will try methods that fit. That means plans are adjusted based on what helps most and what feels manageable for the client.
Online therapy offers flexible options: video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when bandwidth is limited, live chat for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support between meetings. These formats make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or mobility limitations and still practice new skills with a licensed professional.
