About Susan
Susan LeClair is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 22 years of clinical experience based in Connecticut. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and relationship concerns, and she lists social anxiety and phobia among her areas of focus. She also addresses parenting, intimacy issues, ADHD, and LGBT-related concerns.
She has long experience in crisis intervention and in helping people after divorce, domestic violence, or sexual abuse. Susan has worked with individuals, couples and families and offers straightforward guidance when relationships are a central concern. She will refer someone on when another clinician would be a better fit for a particular problem.
Susan uses Solution-Focused Therapy to help clients identify realistic goals and small, practical steps toward those goals. Sessions tend to focus on concrete changes people can try between appointments and on building strengths that already exist. This approach is often used when someone wants focused, time-limited work on a specific problem.
Her style is direct and ethical. She describes herself as non-judgmental and committed to forming a working relationship that supports progress. She emphasizes that change comes from the client’s work and readiness to address concerns.
To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site. Fees vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Sessions are conducted in English in Connecticut.
How Solution-Focused work translates to online sessions
Solution-Focused Therapy focuses on clear goals and small, practical steps. In practice this means sessions concentrate on what a person wants to achieve and on identifying concrete actions to try between meetings. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, relationship problems and transition issues where short-term goal work is a priority.The therapist will treat choosing an approach as a collaborative process. She will discuss goals, try methods that fit the client’s needs, and adjust the plan over time. Clients and the therapist decide together whether to keep working with solution-focused techniques or try other ways of addressing concerns.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people use phone or video options when they prefer not to be in the same room as the therapist. Discuss preferred formats during the matching questionnaire so sessions match daily routines and practical needs.
