About Susan
Susan Filosa is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem struggles, and life changes. She speaks English and Spanish and draws on ten years of experience to guide practical steps people can use right away. Susan uses a straightforward, person-focused style.
Sessions center on what matters to the individual and build tools for coping and resilience. She blends listening with concrete exercises so sessions feel useful and grounded.
How Susan works
Her background includes work in a Federal Veterans Affairs hospital and a state psychiatric residential facility. Those roles involved group and individual care for people facing acute stress and trauma, and they shaped her focus on clear skills and steady support. Susan incorporates creative practices, mindfulness, and several therapeutic approaches to suit each person’s needs.
She encourages people to draw on their own strengths while trying new ways to manage difficult feelings and relationships. In sessions she prioritizes practical strategies: stress management techniques, communication skills, and activities that boost self-compassion. Her aim is to help people gain mental clarity and act in ways that match their values.
The process begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step so people can find a time that works for them.

Online support options
How her approaches fit online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person's lead. It helps when someone needs a nonjudgmental space to sort feelings and decide on next steps. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at patterns in relationships and strong emotions to help people better understand and shift how they relate to others. Existential Therapy encourages people to consider meaning, values, and life direction when facing big changes or uncertainty.Susan treats figuring out the right approach as a joint process. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped in the past. Together they decide whether to lean into mindful practices, narrative work that reframes experiences, or skills-based stress management, and they adjust the plan as needed.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits for those seeking support. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a full session is preferred. Phone sessions or live chat can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Text-based messaging suits people who prefer writing between appointments or who want to share thoughts outside scheduled sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule while still working with licensed professionals.
