About Susan
Susan Davis is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oregon with six years of clinical experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, anger, bipolar mood concerns, LGBT-related issues, and self-esteem struggles. She also focuses on a range of related challenges including substance use, personality and mood disorders, process addictions, and questions about sexuality and life purpose.
She uses several practical therapy methods: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing. Sessions emphasize clear talk about patterns of thought and behavior. The work often includes skill practice, goal-setting, and learning ways to handle intense emotions.
Susan has experience supporting veterans and people living with persistent mental health conditions. That experience informs her approach to co-occurring issues such as substance use alongside mood or personality concerns. She helps people break down problems into manageable steps and test changes in day-to-day life.
In session she aims for straightforward conversation, problem solving, and practical tools rather than vague theory. She encourages clients to identify small, achievable goals and then track progress between meetings. Progress is reviewed regularly so plans can be adjusted.
To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial meeting. The practice uses a subscription model for payment that can be canceled at any time, with cost varying by location.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values-driven action. It helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those priorities even when thoughts or feelings are uncomfortable. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors; it uses structured exercises and practice to reduce anxiety and change unhelpful habits. Motivational Interviewing is a short-term style that helps people find internal reasons to change, often used with substance use and other behavior changes.Picking the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust based on what helps most. That collaborative process means methods can be mixed to suit a client's needs and preferences.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm which options are available before booking. Many people find online appointments make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, handle brief check-ins between other commitments, or choose encounters that do not require travel. Therapists and licensed professionals often combine structured skills practice, goal review, and conversational work in remote sessions, which supports continued progress over weeks and months.
