About Susan
Susan Serge is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 12 years of clinical experience based in Wyoming. She lists stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, depression, compassion fatigue, and social anxiety and phobia among the issues she helps people with. Susan speaks English and works with adults seeking support for these concerns.
She uses cognitive behavioral approaches to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new ways of responding. Her background includes individual and group counseling in community mental health, substance abuse recovery programs, and higher education settings. She also has experience in crisis intervention and suicide prevention training.
Susan completed a Master of Arts in Community Counseling with an adult emphasis from Slippery Rock University. Before moving to Wyoming she worked in adoption networks and student affairs, gaining a mix of clinical and administrative experience. That variety informs how she structures sessions and sets practical goals.
Sessions typically focus on problem-solving, skill building, and short-term behavioral experiments people can try between meetings. She also draws on experience leading trainings related to suicide prevention and awareness when safety planning is needed. Her style is direct and practical, with an emphasis on steps people can take right away.
Outside of work she enjoys travel, cooking, and time with her husband, teenage daughter, and their two dogs. She integrates the perspective of long-term practice into work with people who want clear methods for reducing stress and improving daily functioning.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Susan commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques in online work, helping people identify thoughts and behaviors that keep anxiety or avoidance going and testing small behavior changes to see what helps. This approach is practical and action-oriented, and it is often used for stress, anxiety, and social anxiety and phobia.She also draws on crisis intervention and suicide prevention practices when immediate safety planning or clearer short-term supports are needed. That experience informs how she responds if a session raises urgent concerns and how she structures follow-up steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will work with each person to figure out which methods match their goals and comfort level. That collaboration includes checking how exercises feel, adjusting pacing, and agreeing on measurable steps to try between meetings.
