About Susan
Susan Henry is a licensed social worker with 25 years of clinical experience who helps people work through stress, anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties, and other complex life challenges. She holds LISW and LCSW credentials and practices from Minnesota, bringing a thoughtful, person-centered perspective to therapy.
Background and approach
Her work emphasizes understanding personal patterns, building self-compassion, and developing practical coping strategies to address issues such as grief, addiction, mood concerns, and intimacy-related struggles. Her style blends evidence-informed methods with a warm, nonjudgmental stance that honors each client’s story.
Susan draws on Internal Family Systems alongside acceptance-oriented and attachment-focused approaches to explore internal parts, strengthen values-driven action, and repair relational wounds. She often supports clients navigating life transitions, career stresses, parenting concerns, and identity-related questions, helping them gain clarity and emotional resilience.
Susan aims to create an affirming environment where people can challenge limiting beliefs, practice new ways of relating, and move toward lasting change. Prospective clients can expect collaborative, respectful work that centers the individual’s goals and preferences while using practical tools and deeper exploratory work as appropriate.
Online approaches that support exploration and practical change
Susan integrates Internal Family Systems and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in a way that supports online work. Internal Family Systems invites clients to notice and dialogue with different internal parts to reduce internal conflict and promote self-led clarity, which can help with trauma-related material and persistent patterns. ACT focuses on values-driven action and learning how to live with difficult thoughts and feelings rather than getting stuck trying to eliminate them, making it useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions.
Finding the right combination of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to clarify goals, assess what feels most helpful, and adapt interventions over time so the approach fits personal needs and preferences rather than imposing a single method.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility for appointments and communication between meetings. These options make it easier to integrate therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access care from home or other convenient locations while working with licensed professionals.
