About Susanne

Susanne Jenemann is a New York licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with two decades of clinical experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and life transitions.

Background and approach

She brings a perspective shaped by her indigenous and multiracial background and centers clients' own knowledge and strengths when working toward more satisfying and resilient lives. Susanne emphasizes that taking the first step toward change requires courage, and she positions herself as a collaborative guide rather than an authority on someone else's story.

Her work addresses a wide range of concerns including relationship and family difficulties, coping with loss, addiction, compassion fatigue, self-esteem challenges, and issues related to identity and discrimination. Clinically she integrates approaches such as Internal Family Systems, client-centered methods, trauma-focused strategies, Narrative Therapy, and elements of the Gottman Method to tailor care to each person's needs.

Susanne aims to help clients build clarity, restore connection, and strengthen inner resources while respecting their values and lived experience.

Integrating therapeutic approaches for online care

Internal Family Systems invites exploration of the different parts inside a person and how those parts relate to each other; it can help people understand inner conflicts and build compassionate internal leadership. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathy, unconditional positive regard, and supporting clients to find their own answers, which is useful for strengthening self-trust and clarity. Trauma-Focused Therapy uses targeted strategies to address the effects of traumatic experiences and supports processing and stabilization for people coping with trauma-related symptoms.

Finding the right combination of methods is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist works collaboratively to determine what fits each client's goals and preferences. Together the therapist and client will consider which approaches feel most relevant and adjust methods as progress unfolds to prioritize safety, accessibility, and meaningful change.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to access care from home or other convenient locations. These options allow for regular contact, varied pacing, and different ways to communicate so clients can choose how they feel most comfortable engaging in therapy.
