Susan Huerta, LMHC

Susan Huerta is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor with 15 years of clinical experience. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and addictions, and she helps clients work through relationship and communication struggles.

She often sees people during big life changes and moments of burnout. Sessions focus on practical steps to rebuild confidence and manage strong emotions. Susan helps clients develop coping tools they can use between meetings.

Her work includes attention to trauma, panic, caregiver strain, and challenges that come with aging and chronic illness. She also addresses concerns tied to separation, blended families, and caregiving responsibilities. Drug and alcohol addiction and domestic violence are among the serious issues she can help people with.

Susan draws on a range of approaches to match each person’s needs. The methods she uses aim to reduce distress, improve communication, and strengthen problem-solving. She tailors sessions to the situation rather than using a single fixed method.

Her style is collaborative and respectful. She emphasizes small measurable steps and practical strategies. People who want clear tools and steady support tend to find this approach helpful.

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people name their values and take small actions toward them even when emotions are strong. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thinking patterns and practises concrete strategies to change reactions and reduce symptoms. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is used for trauma-related memories by helping the brain process distressing experiences in a stepwise way.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. Sessions may mix techniques so the plan matches how someone responds over time.

Session formats are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online therapy helps fit care into a busy life by removing travel time and making it easier to schedule brief check-ins during a workday. Online work can also make it simpler to keep continuity when life is unpredictable, while still focusing on the same skills and progress you would aim for in-person.
