About Susan
LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Wyoming with 12 years of experience, Susan Serge focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationships, depression, and compassion fatigue. She works with adults and uses practical, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address day-to-day problems and longer-term patterns.
Susan applies cognitive behavioral approaches to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. She combines one-on-one counseling and group work when appropriate. Her background includes substance abuse counseling and crisis intervention, so she is familiar with the needs that arise in recovery and acute situations.
Her career began after a Master of Arts in Community Counseling with an adult emphasis from Slippery Rock University. Since then she has worked in higher education, adoption-related services, community mental health, and substance abuse recovery programs. Those roles included both direct counseling and administrative leadership in student affairs and behavioral health.
Susan has experience leading suicide prevention training and supporting postvention efforts. She also has taught workshops on recognizing and responding to crisis, and she brings that experience into clinical work when safety concerns come up. Much of her work emphasizes clear communication and practical coping skills.
Outside of counseling she enjoys travel, cooking, and time with her husband, teenage daughter, and their two dogs. She describes her work as a calling and grounds it in her faith while focusing on helping people manage symptoms and regain more control over daily life.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Two approaches stand out in her practice. Cognitive behavioral techniques help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and many stress-related problems. Crisis intervention skills focus on short-term safety planning and immediate coping steps when distress is high. Those skills are practical during periods of acute stress or substance-related crises.Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and recommend strategies based on what the person wants to change. Over the first few sessions she will adjust methods as needed so the work fits the client’s situation and timing.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy week and reduce travel time. They also allow shorter check-ins when a quick update is needed and can be easier to join if someone has limited bandwidth or needs to avoid being on camera for part of a meeting. Licensed professionals generally use these practical benefits to help counseling fit into everyday life.
