About Susan
Susan Stever is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Utah with five years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, or big life changes. She creates a warm, respectful space and aims to treat each person as an individual.
Susan uses plain, direct conversation and practical tools to help people make change. She combines cognitive behavioral ideas with client-centered listening and mindfulness practices.
How Susan works
Sessions often include looking at thinking patterns, trying new coping skills, and building daily habits that feel manageable. Her background includes work in correctional settings, where she supported people through transitions and behavioral changes. That experience shaped a practical approach to problem solving and relapse prevention.
She also works with people who have experienced trauma or abuse and helps them build emotional safety at their own pace. Susan describes her style as interactive and inclusive. She avoids stigmatizing labels and focuses on collaboration.
Together she and the client create a plan that fits goals, values, and daily life demands. Common goals she helps with include improving relationships, managing anger, addressing substance use, handling parenting stress, and coping with ADHD symptoms. She also supports people exploring career decisions, intimacy concerns, or compassion fatigue.
Her goal is steady progress through small, concrete steps.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying different behaviors to change mood and functioning. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping skills training. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and grounding practices to reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation, which can help with stress, trauma symptoms, and anger.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Susan collaborates with each person to identify goals and then tries methods that fit those goals and the person's daily life. She adjusts techniques over time based on what helps and what feels workable for the client.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people have face-to-face conversations from wherever they are. Phone sessions can be an easier option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for ongoing support between sessions or when someone prefers written communication. These formats make it easier to fit sessions around work, parenting, and other responsibilities while using the therapeutic approaches described above.
