Susan Land

Susan Land is a licensed clinical social worker with more than 40 years of practice. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, trauma, and coping with life changes. She offers steady support while people work through practical problems and painful feelings.

Susan meets each person as an individual and aims to be a collaborative partner in therapy. She listens to what feels most urgent and helps break bigger problems into smaller steps. The work tends to be focused and goal-oriented so progress can be noticed between sessions.

Her long experience includes helping people facing loss, abandonment, caregiving strain, chronic health challenges, and separation or divorce. She also addresses attachment concerns, communication problems, codependency, dissociation, and stress from natural or human-caused disasters.

Susan uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to the person she is working with. She and the client decide together which approaches fit the situation and goals. Sessions aim to build coping skills, reduce overwhelming symptoms, and increase day-to-day functioning.

She practices in California and conducts sessions in English. To begin, a person selects the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules according to therapist availability. The subscription for sessions can be canceled at any time.

How evidence-based methods translate to online sessions

Susan draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and symptom relief. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and practice new ways of thinking and acting to reduce anxiety and depression. Another approach emphasizes building coping skills and routines to manage stress, chronic illness challenges, and the emotional fallout of major life changes.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the work together. The therapist and client review current needs, goals, and preferences and try options that feel like the best fit. This shared process allows adjustments over time if something is not helping as expected.

Confirm the specific session formats before booking, as the biography does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins that match a schedule. It can also make it simpler to continue care during moves or life transitions. When you begin, discuss with the therapist how to structure sessions so they fit daily routines and support steady progress.
