About Susan
Susan Rome is an LMFT - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California with 39 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, and issues with self-esteem. Susan also focuses on concerns such as social anxiety and phobia, panic attacks, isolation, and problems with communication and control.
She keeps sessions straightforward and conversational. People can expect to talk through what’s happening, identify patterns that make situations harder, and try small, practical steps to reduce distress. The work often includes practicing new ways to speak up, manage fear in social settings, or respond differently when panic starts.
Susan draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide each person toward clearer thinking and steadier behavior. She explains options and helps people pick approaches that fit their situation. Progress is measured in concrete changes - for example, being able to attend a gathering, speak in a meeting, or reduce panic episodes.
Over nearly four decades of practice she has supported people through divorce and separation, grief, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose and forgiveness. Sessions address both immediate coping skills and longer-term patterns that keep problems repeating.
Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. To start, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session using the See online therapy options button.
Approaches used and how online sessions work
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques are used to guide practical change. Cognitive-style methods help people notice and test stressful thoughts, which can lessen anxious reactions and reduce panic episodes. Behavioral strategies involve gradual exposure and rehearsal of social situations so feared settings become easier to manage over time.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review what feels most difficult, discuss options, and decide together which techniques to try first. Sessions are collaborative and adapt as goals and needs change.
The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example a shorter check-in during a lunch break, or avoiding travel time to an office. Therapists who offer remote work also often allow scheduling that matches different time zones for international clients, which can help keep momentum between appointments.
