About Susan
Susan Keene uses cognitive behavioral therapy as her primary approach. She helps people notice the thoughts that fuel stress, anxiety, and depression and then practices different ways of thinking and doing. Susan holds a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential - LCSW - and brings 18 years of clinical experience in Utah to her work.
Susan pays attention to how automatic reactions and self-talk shape daily feelings. She invites people to look closely at what is happening right now and how past trauma might still be influencing behavior.
How Susan works
Sessions often include simple exercises designed to calm strong emotional reactions and build new coping habits. Her work covers common concerns such as relationship strain, low self-esteem, grief, addiction, and parenting stress. She also addresses anger, compassion fatigue, ADHD, codependency, and isolation or loneliness.
Susan uses practical tools from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness to support emotional regulation and present-moment awareness. Clients can expect a straightforward, down-to-earth style. Susan mixes clinical training with lived experience and respect for each person's inner values.
She prefers 45-minute sessions and typically checks messages most days except Mondays or illness. To begin, readers are asked to review and sign a disclosure form and use the platform's scheduling tools and video test. Susan encourages curiosity and steady work rather than quick fixes, and she focuses on small changes that add up over time.

Online support options
CBT, DBT, and Mindfulness for Online Support
Susan uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thought patterns and practice new ways of thinking that reduce stress and anxiety. CBT often involves tracking thoughts and trying small behavioral experiments to test more balanced beliefs.She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. DBT-based exercises can help when strong feelings or relationship conflict make it hard to cope. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm in daily life.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy in this practice is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video allows a full face-to-face conversation, phone can be used when bandwidth is limited or for a focused check-in, and messaging or chat work well for brief reflections or ongoing support between sessions. These formats make scheduling easier and let people fit help into busy lives.
