About Susan
LMHC (Florida) and LPC (Virginia) therapist with 23 years of clinical experience. Susan Armes helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, depression, and life changes.
Susan uses straightforward talk and practical steps in sessions. She adapts the conversation and plan to fit each person's situation and beliefs. Sessions address communication problems, divorce and separation, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose and work stress.
Her approach draws on client-centered methods to follow the client's lead, cognitive behavioral tools to spot thinking patterns, and mindfulness exercises to reduce reactivity. She also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns from the past and solution-focused techniques to set short-term goals.
Susan has worked with people facing panic attacks, mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, social anxiety, and issues specific to women. She describes therapy as a collaborative process where practical steps and clearer thinking are priorities. Cultural and religious beliefs are respected when shaping treatment.
Sessions are aimed at helping people develop coping strategies and clearer communication. The focus is on manageable change rather than quick fixes. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats before scheduling.

How Susan’s approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client's concerns. Online sessions using this approach prioritize what the client brings up and shape conversation to the person’s current needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. In remote sessions CBT can include homework, thought records, and step-by-step behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety and depression.Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan over time. That means early sessions often focus on assessment and deciding which methods feel most useful for the client's situation.
Session format options are not specified in the biography, so confirm available session types before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, allow quick check-ins between in-person appointments, or use audio-only sessions when video is difficult. These practical benefits help people keep therapy consistent while they work on stress, relationships, trauma-related symptoms, and mood concerns.
