About Susana
Susana (Susie) Hernandez meets people where they are and helps them take practical steps toward feeling more steady and connected. She keeps sessions straightforward and focused on what matters most to each person. Susie uses clear, down-to-earth language so worried parents can quickly understand what to expect.
Susie centers the relationship between counselor and client first. Building trust is her starting point because it opens the door to honest conversations and real change.
How Susana works
She encourages clients to explore identity and belonging as a way to reduce anxiety and increase a sense of wholeness. Her work addresses common struggles like anxiety, depression, stress, grief, life transitions, and addictions. She also supports people dealing with relationship and communication problems, parenting strain, career concerns, and intimacy-related issues.
Sessions include practical tools and simple strategies that can be used between meetings. Susie draws on several therapeutic approaches to match the needs of each person. She combines talk-based work with skill-building so clients leave sessions with usable steps.
Susie brings five years of experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, practicing in Texas. She is comfortable including faith and spirituality when that matters to a client. Outside of work she spends time with family, exercises at the park or gym, and enjoys cooking.
That balance shows up in her calm, practical style in sessions.

Online support options
Approaches that translate well online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then commit to actions that reflect their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and teaching practical coping skills for depression, anxiety, and addictive behaviors. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current closeness and trust and helps people build healthier ways of relating to others.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Susie works together with each person to figure out which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean trying one approach for a while and adjusting as progress is made.
Online sessions give flexibility for busy schedules and different life demands. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be lower bandwidth or easier to fit into a short break. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick check-ins, ongoing coaching, or when someone prefers writing over speaking. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, school, or caregiving duties.
