About Susan
Susan Resnik is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, parenting strain, grief, and relationship concerns, including codependency and communication problems.
Susan focuses on helping people notice the patterns that keep them putting others first. She talks through what happens in relationships and how that affects daily life. Sessions include practical conversation, skill practice, and checking how small changes feel in real situations.
Her approach blends evidence-based methods. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and reduce avoidance. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try out different responses. Emotionally-Focused elements help name and track emotions in relationship moments.
Susan commonly supports women and young adults who feel stuck by guilt, shame, or unclear life direction. She helps people work on self-love, setting boundaries, and communicating needs without blaming anyone. Work is paced to what each person can try between sessions.
Over two decades she has refined a straightforward, conversational style. Expect direct feedback, specific exercises, and focus on skills you can practice. The goal is clearer choices about relationships and responsibilities, not quick fixes.
How sessions work
How Susan Uses ACT, CBT and Emotionally-Focused Methods Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values. It is useful when avoidance, people-pleasing, or fear of conflict gets in the way of meaningful choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the thoughts that drive behavior and teaches practical skills to test and change those patterns. It can help reduce anxiety, challenge guilt-driven thinking, and practice new responses. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on naming emotions and the interaction patterns they create, which can be helpful for relationship-related distress and improving communication.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Susan will discuss what feels most useful and try methods collaboratively based on a person’s goals, values, and comfort with different exercises. The choice of techniques is adjusted as progress and needs become clearer.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a break, or scheduling a session without travel time. Therapists can also guide in-practice work between meetings so skills get used in everyday situations, which helps translate online work into real-life changes.
