About Susan
Susan Guerra is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Louisiana with 28 years of practice. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and relationship or intimacy-related concerns. She also works with people managing ADHD, bipolar conditions, caregiving strain, chronic illness, and codependency-related patterns.
Susan draws on straightforward, skills-based methods. Sessions focus on identifying what is getting in the way, practicing new ways to respond, and building everyday coping tools. She uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered work to support that effort.
Her background spans home health, hospice, psychiatric hospitals, outpatient clinics, residential substance-abuse programs, and women’s shelters. That range informs practical support for life stressors, medical and end-of-life issues, and caregiving burdens. Her experience includes work with eating disorders, substance use, trauma, severe anxiety, and mood disorders.
In sessions she looks for concrete steps people can take between meetings. That can include mindfulness exercises, behavior experiments, or communication practices to try with others. The aim is to make changes that matter in day-to-day life rather than abstract theory.
Susan accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. The cost structure varies with location and uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site.
How sessions work
How Susan’s approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that align with what matters to them. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and patterns like people-pleasing. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping skills. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a working relationship that lets a person explore their goals and try new behaviors.Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist and client review goals, preferences, and what has worked before. They can try techniques from different approaches and adjust as needed so the work fits day-to-day life.
The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people practice skills in the settings where problems occur and bring real-life examples back into the session for immediate feedback.
