About Susan
Susan Clark is a California licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with nine years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem concerns, and attention challenges such as ADHD. Sessions are offered in English and she practices from California.
Her work often focuses on young children, adolescents, and young adults who are dealing with trauma, victimization, sex trafficking recovery, or common childhood behavior concerns. She aims for interactions that feel approachable and age-appropriate, so young people can feel seen and heard during sessions.
Susan uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to each person's needs. That means she chooses methods that fit the problem and the person, then works with them step by step. She emphasizes early intervention and practical strategies to address symptoms and build coping skills.
In sessions she addresses everyday challenges like motivation, concentration, memory, and confidence alongside bigger issues such as grief and abuse. She also works with concerns tied to attachment, abandonment, adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, chronic illness, body image, and communication problems.
Her approach centers on straightforward, developmentally appropriate work with children and young adults. The therapy process focuses on building skills, improving functioning, and supporting healing over time. To start, clients use a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
Evidence-based approaches for remote care
Many of her core techniques are evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on concrete skills and symptom relief. Cognitive-behavioral approaches look at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teach practical strategies for anxiety, attention, and mood concerns. Trauma-focused methods help people work through distressing experiences in manageable steps and build coping tools for triggers and memories.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will review what has helped or not helped in the past and then collaborate with the client or caregiver to choose methods that fit current needs and goals. Adjustments are made over time based on what is helpful.
Confirm the therapist's available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific online options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, allow quicker check-ins, and reduce travel time. Different formats can also let someone choose shorter or camera-free sessions when that best fits their routine.
