About Susan
Susan Edson is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor with 18 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship concerns, and big life changes. Her style is warm and straightforward, focused on practical steps people can use between sessions.
She begins by listening to each person’s story and identifying strengths already present. Susan treats clients as partners in the work and uses concrete goals to guide sessions.
How Susan works
She encourages small, manageable changes that build confidence over time. Her practice also explores deeper questions like forgiveness, life purpose, and self-love when those issues matter to the client. Susan supports people in finding meaning and restoring a sense of direction.
Conversations move at the client’s pace and respect their values. Over nearly two decades she has helped people practice new ways of coping and make steady progress. Sessions typically focus on practical tools for stress management and ways to shift negative self-talk.
She also helps people navigate relationship patterns and improve communication skills. Many clients appreciate having clear next steps after a session and ways to measure small wins. Susan aims to make therapy feel useful and approachable, whether someone needs short-term support or wants longer-term guidance.

Approaches that guide online care and growth
Susan uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach helps people learn skills to manage stress and anxiety through step-by-step coping strategies and behavior changes. These techniques are useful when everyday worries or panic feel overwhelming and you want tools to regain control. Another approach centers on building self-esteem and working on self-love. This involves identifying negative self-talk, practicing small confidence-building actions, and developing a healthier inner narrative. It can help when low confidence or negative self-beliefs block progress toward goals. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will ask about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before, then tailor techniques to fit. Clients are invited to give feedback so the plan can change as needed. Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in fits a break during the day. Live chat and text messaging work for people who prefer shorter, written exchanges or need flexible timing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep progress moving forward.Start online instead of waiting
