About Susan
Susan Armstrong is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in Montana with 11 years of experience. She focuses on practical help for everyday problems like stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and attention challenges. She approaches sessions with respect for each person's strengths and encourages small, steady steps toward change.
Susan listens first to understand what matters most to each person and then works together to set realistic goals.
How Susan works
She helps people sort through strong emotions, improve focus and memory, and develop clearer communication habits. Her style is straightforward and supportive, aimed at building confidence and motivation. Many clients want help with impulse control, mood swings, obsessive thoughts or compulsive behaviors, and trauma symptoms.
She offers tools to manage those symptoms and to reduce workplace stress or social anxiety. Susan also addresses attachment concerns, control issues, and forgiveness when those themes come up. Sessions are meant to fit real life.
Susan guides practical skill-building for managing anger, improving concentration, and coping with depressive periods. She values the courage it takes to seek change and aims to make each meeting useful and focused. To begin, she asks questions about current challenges and draws on eleven years of clinical experience to tailor support.
Susan encourages a collaborative approach so people can use their own strengths to move toward a more fulfilling life.

Evidence-based techniques and online care that fit your life
Many of Susan's methods draw on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that teach practical skills. One common approach focuses on building coping skills for anxiety and depression through step-by-step exercises and behavior changes to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Another approach targets attention and impulsivity by teaching strategies to improve focus, organization, and memory so tasks feel more manageable and concentration improves.Choosing the right technique is a team effort. Susan will work collaboratively to identify what fits a person's goals, needs, and preferences. She reviews what helps, adjusts methods over time, and invites feedback so the plan stays useful and relevant.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls enable face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth or camera use is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and text messaging allows ongoing brief contact between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and different routines.
