About Susan

Dr. Susan Sult offers practical, straightforward support for people facing addictions, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship strain. She writes and talks plainly in sessions to help clients identify what feels most urgent and work toward clear, manageable changes. Dr. Sult is a Florida Psychologist (FL Psychologist PY3854) with decades of experience and a calm, direct approach.

She uses short-term problem-solving and evidence-informed methods to help people reduce symptoms and regain control. Sessions focus on small steps clients can try between meetings, with guidance on which skills might help most. The work often includes learning new coping tools, shifting unhelpful thinking, and practicing different ways of communicating.

Dr. Sult has been practicing for 35 years and has worked with a wide range of concerns, including chronic stress, trauma, mood difficulties, addiction-related problems, and relationship challenges. She emphasizes a collaborative process where client goals shape the plan and pace of therapy.

Her style blends straightforward feedback with measurable strategies. She will explain techniques and why they might help, then check in on progress and adjust as needed. Outside of clinical work she enjoys horseback riding, quilting, and cooking.

People considering therapy with Dr. Sult are encouraged to think about what they want to change and bring that into the first conversation. She aims to make sessions practical and focused so clients leave with clear next steps.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Dr. Sult commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and testing small changes to see what helps, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and addiction-related urges. Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people name emotions and respond differently, which can ease conflict and improve connection.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will ask about goals, current struggles, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is seen, keeping the client’s preferences in mind.

Session formats are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets clients use skills learned in therapy in real-world settings between meetings. Licensed professionals adapt exercises and homework so that online sessions remain focused and practical.
