About Susan

Susan Ramsey-French is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Florida who helps people manage anger alongside stress, anxiety, trauma, and life changes. She focuses on practical steps that reduce daily overwhelm and improve emotional steadiness. Her approach is calm and straightforward, aimed at people who want clear tools and honest conversation.

Susan uses a range of evidence-informed methods to match each person’s needs. She often blends client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral techniques to spot patterns and try new behaviors. She also integrates mindfulness skills and EMDR when trauma memories are involved.

Sessions are collaborative and paced to what the individual can handle. She listens first, then suggests small experiments people can practice between meetings. The work covers things like coping with panic, mood shifts, relationship strain, and rebuilding self-esteem after loss or abuse.

Over eight years of practice inform her choices about when to use short-term solution-focused steps and when to slow down for trauma processing. She aims to help people develop lasting coping habits rather than quick fixes. Her style stays respectful, direct, and pragmatic.

People who want help organizing their reactions, addressing past hurts, or making concrete changes often find this approach useful. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling details to ensure they fit with their needs.

Approaches for online healing and coping

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s experience without judgment. It helps people feel heard, clarify goals, and guide their own change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and offers practical exercises to reduce anger, anxiety, and low mood. EMDR uses guided attention to process traumatic memories so they feel less overwhelming and disruptive.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try methods that fit their needs. Decisions about which method to use are made together and adjusted over time as progress becomes clear.

Confirm current session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when days are tight, and reduce travel time. Talk with the therapist about what will work best for scheduling, camera use, and session length so treatment fits everyday routines.
