About Susan
Susan Hull is an Ohio licensed independent social worker (LISW) with 17 years of clinical experience helping adults manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addiction concerns, and relationship patterns such as codependency. She works with people who feel stuck by other people’s needs, who struggle to say no, or who carry heavy caregiving and first responder stress.
Hull uses straightforward, practical talk therapy to help people notice behaviors that keep them drained. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early bonds affect current relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps her clients test unhelpful thoughts and try new actions. Mindfulness and skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy are offered to manage intense feelings in the moment.
She has worked with mood disorders, panic and trauma-related concerns, and the complicated grief that can come with illness, hospice, and loss. Her practice includes supporting people dealing with abandonment, communication problems, narcissism in relationships, and the effects of substance use on family life.
Susan also brings experience with military and first responder issues, and with caregiver stress tied to cancer and end-of-life care. Her approach is calm and direct; sessions focus on clear goals, practical skills, and steady progress rather than on broad theory.
To begin, a person completes a brief matching questionnaire and schedules a first session. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape what feels safe and normal now. Online sessions can be used to trace those patterns and practice different ways of relating in daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new actions. In remote sessions the therapist and client can work through thought records and plan small experiments to try between meetings. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and manage strong emotions, which can be practiced in short exercises during a session.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is revisited as the work progresses so methods can be adjusted if something is not helping.
The biography does not list specific session formats here, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example a shorter check-in between obligations, easier access when travel is difficult, or options that reduce the need to arrange lengthy commutes. Discuss scheduling and practical arrangements when completing the matching questionnaire so sessions can fit into everyday routines.
