About Susan
Susan Galewaler is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with 30 years of clinical experience. She works with people who struggle with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and depression. She also addresses related concerns like attachment and abandonment worries, caregiver stress, and issues that come up after divorce or separation.
She has a long history of working with custody-related family situations and co-authored an educational book used by family therapists for assessing families and children in difficult custody cases. That experience informs how she approaches practical family and communication problems in sessions.
In the room she focuses on clear, direct conversation about the problem at hand. She helps people name what they are feeling and look at the patterns that keep those feelings active. Sessions include talking through relationship patterns, problem-solving practical steps, and working through painful experiences at a manageable pace.
Susan uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide her work and aims to match methods to each person’s needs. She pays attention to communication skills, managing impulses, and the impact of isolation or chronic illness on mood and behavior.
People working with her can expect straightforward feedback, structured conversations about goals, and practical strategies to try between sessions. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment through the site.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online sessions
Many clinicians who describe their work as evidence-based use a mix of focused, skills-oriented strategies and trauma-informed conversation. Skills-focused methods teach specific tools for managing anxious thoughts and behavior, such as breathing, grounding, and step-by-step exposure to feared situations. Trauma-informed work involves pacing the conversation, naming painful memories, and building ways to reduce distress when memories come up.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they try methods, check how well they fit, and adjust the plan as needed rather than assuming one technique will suit every person.
The original biography does not list which session formats are used, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten travel time, and allow quicker check-ins when problems flare. Some formats can also reduce the need to be on camera or allow shorter, focused conversations when that helps with concentration or timing. Licensed professionals can work with clients across time zones, and scheduling can often be adjusted to match work and caregiving commitments.
