Susan Huerta

Susan Huerta is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor with 15 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, and major life transitions. Her work focuses on practical support for everyday struggles like stress, communication problems, and feeling isolated.

Susan often supports people who are navigating caregiving demands, chronic illness or pain, and the challenges of aging. She also assists those dealing with workplace stress, commitment doubts, or the fallout from separation and divorce. Sessions emphasize building coping skills, boosting self-esteem, and restoring a sense of purpose.

Her style is collaborative and respectful. She listens for each person’s priorities and offers tools that fit their day-to-day life. Conversations are direct but warm, with an eye toward small, steady changes rather than quick fixes.

Susan draws on several therapeutic approaches when they match a client’s needs, including cognitive and behavioral techniques, acceptance-based strategies, and trauma-focused work. She uses these methods to address symptoms and to help people regain confidence and direction.

To start, a prospective client completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules according to Susan’s availability. Payment is handled through a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and session fees vary by location and therapist availability. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are not accepted.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then take steps that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, actions, and mood and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress. EMDR focuses on processing distressing memories and the emotions tied to them and can be helpful for trauma-related symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Susan will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and daily life. She may combine techniques from different approaches and will adjust the plan as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit care into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and offer options when being on camera isn’t ideal. Licensed professionals can use these methods to teach coping skills, guide exposure exercises, process difficult memories, and practice communication strategies just as they would in person.
