About Susan
Susan Jordan-Kertzner is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with 19 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, self-esteem concerns, career crossroads, ADHD, grief, parenting challenges, and codependency. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted.
Susan uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. She draws on cognitive behavioral tools to change unhelpful thinking and behavioral patterns. She also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and take actions that matter to them.
Attachment-based ideas inform her work on relationship patterns and communication. She helps people notice how early bonds shape current expectations and reactions, then practices different ways of relating. Dialectical behavior strategies are used when strong emotions or impulsivity get in the way of goals.
In a typical session she talks through current problems, teaches concrete skills, and coaches on next steps. She blends talking therapies with skill-building so people can try things between sessions and report back what worked. She frames therapy as active work rather than only reflection.
Her background includes long-term psychotherapy and executive coaching experience. Susan combines clinical counseling with practical career and life planning. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How Susan uses evidence-based approaches in online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to someone and taking committed steps toward those values while allowing difficult feelings to exist. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and people stuck in avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches concrete strategies to change thinking and behavior patterns that sustain stress, panic, or depression. It is often used for worry, panic attacks, and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and helps people practice different ways of connecting and communicating, which can be useful for people struggling with codependency or recurring relationship conflicts.Susan treats finding the right approach as collaborative. She will talk with clients about their goals and preferences, try methods in session, and adjust the mix of CBT, ACT, or attachment work based on what helps most. Clients are invited to give feedback so sessions stay practical and focused on results they notice.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten check-ins when time is tight, and let people meet from different locations when travel is difficult. Licensed professionals often adapt exercises and homework to work well by video or phone; Susan will help shape session length and tasks so they fit into everyday life without demanding extra time.
