Dr. Susie Stubbs

Dr. Susie Stubbs is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with 15 years of experience based in Maryland. She approaches therapy with respect for each person's story and strengths. She helps people who are struggling to make changes or find more satisfaction in work and life.

She uses client-centered methods to listen closely and reflect what matters to each person. That means sessions focus on the client’s priorities and pace rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical behavior changes that reduce stress and anxiety.

Common concerns she supports include career challenges, coping with life changes, stress, anxiety, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, addiction concerns, and parenting strain. Other areas listed are mood concerns such as depression and bipolar, attention difficulties, eating or sleeping struggles, and compassion fatigue. She frames these topics so a person can take small, usable steps forward.

Her work often blends reflective conversation with concrete tools. Clients can expect focused conversations about goals, experiments to try between sessions, and regular check-ins on what is working. The style is collaborative and steady, aimed at practical progress rather than quick fixes.

To begin, she asks people to consider what matters most and what change would help them feel better day to day. That initial focus shapes how therapy proceeds and helps keep sessions grounded in real-life needs.

How client-centered care and CBT work online

Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding a person’s experience and priorities. The therapist listens actively, reflects what she hears, and helps people clarify goals so sessions follow their concerns. This approach helps when someone needs support making big life changes or deciding on career moves.

Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It uses practical exercises and small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and address sleep or eating struggles. CBT is useful for stress, anxiety, and for trying concrete steps between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will collaborate with each person to decide whether client-centered listening, CBT techniques, or a mix fits best. That decision is guided by the client’s goals, daily life, and what feels most helpful during the first few sessions.

If you plan to try online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people practice skills in their everyday setting. Licensed professionals can adapt both client-centered and CBT methods to an online setting so the focus stays on meaningful, usable change.
