About Susann
Licensed Certified Social Worker-Clinical (LCSW-C) in Maryland with 25 years of experience, Susann Adams helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and depression. She frames treatment around each person's goals and practical needs. Susann uses straightforward language and focuses on what a person can do next rather than on jargon or labels.
She emphasizes that people are the experts on their own stories and brings that view into sessions. That means therapy may begin with short meetings or steps that fit current circumstances. It can also mean working toward addiction goals without requiring immediate abstinence if that is the client's plan.
Susann draws on several clinical approaches, including Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Narrative Therapy. She uses these methods to help with coping skills, thinking patterns that keep problems going, motivation for change, and reworking how people tell their life stories.
Her practice includes experience with issues such as abandonment, codependency, communication problems, guilt and shame, isolation, narcissism, personality disorders, and post-traumatic stress. She has also worked with hospice and end-of-life concerns and has experience related to veterans and the legal system.
Sessions are offered in English and are organized around the client's stated goals. The intake process starts with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. Payment uses a cancel-anytime subscription model, and costs vary with location.

How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting the client’s perspective. It helps people clarify goals and make changes at their own pace, which can be useful when sessions are shorter or scheduled around busy days.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems going. In remote sessions this often means setting small exercises between meetings to practice new skills and tracking what works in daily life.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication. Those skills can be practiced during sessions and applied to high-stress moments between appointments.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods match their goals, needs, and preferences. That plan can change as progress is made and new issues arise.
The original biography does not specify which session formats are used, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or reduce travel time. These practical benefits help people maintain regular meetings while working on coping skills, motivation, or reframing personal stories.
