About Susannah

Susannah Davis is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) who brings a long history in school and mental health settings to private practice. She has been a private practice counselor for ten years and previously worked for 18 years as a licensed school counselor. Susannah uses a warm, relational style to make space for honest conversation about what feels hard right now.

She draws on more than three decades of experience in education and mental health work, including roles as a therapeutic foster care provider, sub-acute residential counselor, and art therapy facilitator. That background informs how she tailors sessions to each person's needs and life stage.

Susannah helps people who face anger, grief, anxiety, depression, trauma, and challenges with self-esteem or body image. She also supports those dealing with career shifts, parenting strain, sleep problems, and identity or life-purpose questions. Her practice includes attention to ADHD, relationship problems, and coping with major life changes.

Her work uses practical, evidence-based therapeutic techniques chosen together with the client. Sessions often blend skills-based work with mindfulness, self-compassion, and narrative approaches to make sense of painful experiences and build manageable habits for daily life.

At the start of counseling, Susannah and the person seeking help identify which approaches fit best and set clear, achievable goals. She aims to help people feel steadier, clearer, and more able to take next steps in day-to-day life.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online therapy

Susannah uses practical, evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills, awareness, and storytelling. Cognitive-behavioral approaches help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anger, anxiety, or sleep problems. Mindfulness and self-compassion practices teach simple exercises to calm the body and respond to difficult emotions more gently.

Finding the right mix of techniques is collaborative. The therapist will work with the client to decide which approaches match their goals and preferences. Sessions begin by clarifying problems and then try methods together, adjusting plans as progress and needs become clearer.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life by removing commute time and allowing sessions during work breaks or evenings. It can also let people use quieter settings or choose shorter check-ins when that fits their schedule. Licensed professionals, including this therapist, can adapt exercises and tools to work well in a remote setting while focusing on practical steps clients can use between sessions.
