About Susan
Susan Pittman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Indiana with 14 years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and motivation. She speaks English and works with adults seeking practical help for these issues.
Susan uses clear, straightforward conversation to help people sort through what matters most to them. Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful patterns, building small skills for coping, and practicing new ways of relating to others. She encourages honest feedback so the work can be adjusted as needed.
Her background includes many years in clinical social work and direct client care, with eight years holding an LCSW credential. That experience informs how she breaks down problems into manageable steps and sets concrete goals together with each person.
Typical topics include handling anxious reactions in social situations, improving communication, working through past hurt or trauma, and strengthening self-confidence. She also addresses related concerns such as abandonment feelings, caregiver stress, substance issues, and the effects of separation or divorce.
Susan aims for sessions that feel practical and focused. She will explain options, try techniques in session, and review progress regularly. To start, clients choose an online therapy option, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
How evidence-based techniques are used online
Susan draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills you can use in everyday life. One common approach helps people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns by testing small changes and reviewing what worked. This can be useful for anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem.Another approach emphasizes managing strong emotions and building steady coping strategies through step-by-step practice. It includes breath work, grounding steps, and short behavioral experiments to try between sessions and then discuss what happened.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Susan will talk with each person about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful. The process is collaborative and paced to the person's needs.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or travel, reduce time spent commuting, and allow brief check-ins when a full visit isn't needed. Therapists can also use focused practice exercises during sessions so skills translate into everyday situations.
