How Susan works
Conversations are geared toward real-world change rather than abstract theory. In the room, Dr. Lieberman helps clients notice unhelpful patterns and try new responses.
She uses short exercises, problem solving, and emotion coaching to build practical skills. Clients leave with tools they can use between sessions. Her practice covers a wide range of concerns including ADHD, addictions, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and work-related pressure.
She also addresses identity and LGBT-related concerns and relationship communication problems. Dr. Lieberman offers therapy by video, phone, live chat, and text messaging to fit different schedules.
She works with each person to set achievable steps and adjust the plan as needs evolve.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Dr. Lieberman commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and it focuses on choosing actions that match personal values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and lift mood.Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. She will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and everyday life. Together they set aims, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls work well for deeper conversational work, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat lets someone check in quickly during a break, and text messaging supports brief check-ins or homework prompts. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to continue work between sessions.
