About Susan
Dr. Susan Lieberman is a KS Psychologist LP with 24 years of clinical experience based in Kansas. She helps people facing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship strain, grief, and concerns like codependency and addiction. She also supports clients dealing with attention differences, chronic illness, caregiver strain, and career or parenting pressures.
She uses straightforward, evidence-informed approaches. Sessions focus on practical skills such as managing strong emotions, improving communication, and sorting priorities. Therapy often includes behavioral strategies, values-guided action, and attention to attachment patterns that shape relationships.
Dr. Lieberman combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with cognitive-behavioral techniques to help people notice what matters and change unhelpful habits. She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early and current relationship patterns affect closeness and boundaries. Dialectical skills are used when intense emotions or impulsive behaviors get in the way.
Work in sessions tends to be collaborative and problem-focused. People can expect direct conversation, experiments to try between meetings, and coaching on setting limits or handling conflict. The focus is on steps that reduce overwhelm and restore more control over daily life.
Her background includes long-term work with adults managing mood disorders, trauma, and life transitions. She speaks English and practices in Kansas as a KS Psychologist LP 1071. To start, people complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How sessions work
How her approaches fit with online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people identify their values and take small actions toward them. ACT supports work on codependency patterns by clarifying what matters and reducing avoidance of hard feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical skill building - changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and practicing new responses to stress and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape expectations and reactions, which can help when patterns of people-pleasing or difficulty with boundaries show up.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will review your situation and goals with you and recommend which methods to emphasize. That decision is collaborative and can change as needs evolve during therapy.
The original biography does not specify session formats here, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a weekday break, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets sessions focus on practicing skills in real life between meetings, with coaching and problem-solving tailored to what comes up between appointments.
