About Susan
Susan Frambes is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New Jersey with about 30 years of experience. She works with adults who face depression, anxiety, trauma and life transitions, and she lists social anxiety and phobia among the concerns she supports. Her approach is practical and grounded in conversation.
She has extensive experience helping people who have experienced childhood trauma, physical or emotional abuse, stalking, or domestic violence. She also supports those dealing with addictive behaviors, stress, grief, relationship problems, and changes in work or family life. Sessions focus on clear goals and real-life coping skills.
Susan uses cognitive behavioral techniques alongside client-centered and mindfulness-based ideas. That means clients often work on identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing small behavior changes, and developing calmer moment-to-moment attention. Trauma-focused work is offered when past events are part of the current concerns.
Her practice is flexible about communication. The biography notes she will respond to messages daily and can work with clients who prefer text-only contact. She makes scheduling adjustments when possible to fit a client's needs.
In sessions she leans toward talk-based strategies and practical exercises rather than abstract theory. People can expect direct discussion of symptoms, concrete coping steps, and collaborative planning. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment through the site.
How Susan Uses CBT and Mindfulness Online
Client-Centered Therapy is conversational and focuses on the client's perspective. The therapist listens closely and helps people organize their thoughts and goals so sessions feel focused and practical. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and uses brief exercises to test new ways of thinking and acting; this can help with anxiety, low mood, and phobic responses. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment noticing, which many people find useful for stress and anxiety.Choosing the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify what fits their goals and preferences, and may adjust techniques as work progresses. Clients are invited to raise concerns about any method and to help shape the focus of sessions.
Practical benefits of online work include fitting therapy into a busy day and reducing travel time. The biography indicates the therapist responds to messages daily and can work with clients who prefer text-only communication; confirm current session options before booking to know which formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to keep regular appointments, check in between meetings, and practice new skills where life actually happens.
