About Susan
Susan Beck Case greets people with warmth and directness. She tells readers they deserve help and encourages them to speak up when choosing a therapist. She aims to build a trust-based, nonjudgmental relationship and asks clients to judge the fit for themselves.
Susan brings 30 years of experience as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW. She has worked with a very wide age range over her career and emphasizes practical support over technical labels.
How Susan works
Her focus includes stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, sleep problems, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, career questions, coping with life changes, and ADHD. She stresses the importance of advocating for oneself when starting therapy. If the fit feels off, she encourages asking for another therapist rather than stopping therapy altogether.
That idea guides how she approaches early sessions and goal-setting. In sessions she aims to respond to what a person is managing now. Susan says the names of specific therapeutic methods are not the priority.
Instead she focuses on creating a safe space to talk about painful history and current struggles, and on practical steps that address immediate needs. Clients can expect a straightforward and respectful style. She values the courage it takes to begin therapy and treats that decision as meaningful.
Susan welcomes the chance to join someone’s story and help them move forward.

Approaches and how online therapy can help
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques are used to address real problems in clear terms. One common approach focuses on identifying current thoughts and behaviors that maintain stress or anxiety, then practicing small changes that reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. This kind of work helps with worry, sleep issues, and mood management.Another approach centers on processing difficult events and their emotional impact. It helps people make sense of painful experiences and reduce the intensity of distressing memories, which can improve relationships and daily coping. Both approaches emphasize practical steps and measurable progress rather than technical labels.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adjust methods as progress unfolds. Clients are invited to give feedback so treatment stays aligned with their needs.
Online sessions offer flexibility for people with busy schedules. Video calls let therapists see nonverbal cues while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier for short check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick updates, on-the-go reflections, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and fit it into daily life.
