About Susan
Susan Garon is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in Florida with 20 years of professional experience. She works with people who bring concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Sessions focus on practical ways to handle the everyday problems that make social moments feel hard or overwhelming.
Her background includes work with adoption and foster care, attachment issues, aging and geriatric concerns, and autism and Asperger Syndrome. She also addresses blended family issues, communication problems, and the effects of divorce or separation. Veteran and Armed Forces issues, isolation and loneliness, and coping after a disaster are part of her experience as well.
Susan uses a mix of established approaches in her work. Client-Centered Therapy guides the conversation so the client’s concerns lead the plan. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep patterns going. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers concrete skills for managing strong emotions.
She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Existential Therapy when those approaches match a person’s needs. The therapist adapts what she uses to the problem at hand rather than insisting on one method for everyone. That means sessions tend to be straightforward and goal-focused.
People who value clear talk and practical steps often find this style useful. To begin, clients follow the site’s onboarding steps to match and schedule a first session. Language offered is English and international clients are not accepted.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on what matters most to the client, letting their concerns set the agenda and pace. This approach helps people who need a conversational, listening-focused way to sort out social worries and life decisions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches ways to shift unhelpful patterns. It is practical for managing anxious thinking and for building skills that change how someone responds in social situations.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for handling intense emotions and improving distress tolerance. DBT techniques can be useful when anxiety feels overwhelming or when someone needs step-by-step tools to get through difficult moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods to use based on goals, preferences, and what shows up in early sessions. That means plans can change as needs become clearer.
