About Susan
LCSW in Virginia with 20 years of clinical experience, Susan Gallicchio focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, bipolar disorder, depression, and compassion fatigue. She works directly with individuals who are struggling and uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. Susan describes her way of working as collaborative and practical.
Susan listens first and then helps people decide which steps to try next. Sessions tend to focus on clear problems and measurable steps rather than abstract theory. She draws on approaches that are supported by research to help reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.
Her style emphasizes steady pacing and partnerships in care. That means planning goals together and checking progress between sessions. Susan aims to adjust the work so it fits each person’s rhythm and life demands.
Across two decades she has helped people manage long-term mood concerns and the fatigue that comes from caregiving or emotionally demanding roles. Her practice includes short-term work to resolve acute stress and longer-term support for recurring mood problems.
People who want straightforward, evidence-minded therapy will find her practical focus familiar. She encourages questions about methods, timelines, and what to expect from sessions before booking.

How evidence-based methods fit into online sessions
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on skills and strategies you can use between meetings. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and replace them with more workable alternatives. That approach is often useful for anxiety and depression because it targets day-to-day thinking that affects mood and behavior.Another approach emphasizes structured coping strategies and behavioral changes. It breaks problems into manageable steps and uses practice assignments to build new routines. This way of working can help with stress, bipolar mood management, and burnout from compassion fatigue.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review current concerns, goals, and preferences and then suggest methods to try. Plans are adjusted over time based on what does and does not work for the client.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make scheduling easier and help fit sessions into busy days. It also allows shorter check-ins when needed and avoids travel time, which can make regular care more practical for people with demanding schedules.
