About Susan
Susan Gerber is a licensed professional clinical counselor in New Mexico with 40 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are stressed, anxious, or dealing with depression and major life changes.

Susan creates an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about difficult feelings. She encourages honesty and gentle self-reflection.
How Susan works
Sessions aim to make small, practical changes that feel doable in daily life. Her background includes decades of clinical work supporting people through trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and grief and loss. She also helps people rebuild self-esteem and motivation after hard life events.
The approach is straightforward and focused on what the client needs now. Susan adapts to each person rather than using a single method for everyone. She listens for what matters to the client and uses techniques that help with coping skills, emotional regulation, and repairing relationships when possible.
Progress is measured in clearer thinking and more manageable reactions. Therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. She recognizes that starting therapy takes courage and treats that first step with respect and support.

Approaches that guide online counseling
Many clients find relief from straightforward, evidence-based techniques that teach coping skills and emotional awareness. One common approach focuses on building practical coping skills - teaching calming strategies, sleep routines, and ways to manage anger so daily life feels easier. Another helpful method emphasizes improving relationship and intimacy skills - it looks at communication, boundaries, and handling jealousy or infidelity concerns so interactions become clearer and less reactive.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively with each person to identify which techniques match their needs and goals. Together they will choose methods that fit the client's situation and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions offer flexibility for different lifestyles. Video calls let people use visual cues for deeper conversations. Phone sessions are an option when bandwidth or screen time is an issue. Live chat and text-based messaging support quick check-ins, brief coaching, or ongoing reflection between longer sessions. These formats help therapy fit into busy schedules and different comfort levels.
