About Susan

Susan Jentoft is an MS LPC - a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Mississippi with 25 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, depression, and other life changes. Her practice also addresses addictions, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, and attention-related concerns such as ADHD.

Susan uses clear, practical conversation to help people identify what is getting in the way of day-to-day functioning. She listens for how patterns in thinking and behaving contribute to stress and anxiety. Then she helps people try small changes to shift those patterns and test whether different ways of responding feel better.

Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy along with mindfulness practices. That mix supports work on thoughts, behaviors, and the feelings behind them. Sessions often include checking current problems, setting short goals, and practicing specific skills between meetings.

Susan also works with issues linked to career and life transitions, compassion fatigue, and aging-related concerns. She pays attention to communication problems, codependency, and practical coping for grief or trauma. People who prefer straightforward, skills-oriented sessions tend to find this approach useful.

To begin, visitors complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The subscription used for sessions can be canceled at any time, and costs vary by location. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without fighting them and choosing actions that match personal values; it is useful for anxiety, avoidance, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses structured exercises to change unhelpful patterns, which helps with anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, listening stance where the therapist follows the person’s lead and supports their own problem-solving and insight.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. Susan will collaborate with each person to decide which approach or combination fits their needs, goals, and preferences. That plan can change as progress is reviewed and new challenges arise.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as this profile does not list specific delivery options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people choose whether they want video or audio depending on comfort and bandwidth. Therapists and licensed professionals can also use mindfulness exercises and behavior experiments between meetings to support progress in everyday life.
