About Susan

Susan Toth is a Licensed Independent Social Worker - Clinical Practice (LISW-CP) in South Carolina with 16 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, and struggles around addiction and grief. Susan also supports people dealing with sleep trouble, caregiver strain, parenting concerns, and questions about self-worth and life transitions.

She focuses on how relationships and family history shape current choices. That includes attachment issues, codependency, communication and control problems, and the fallout from infidelity or separation. She listens for patterns that keep someone stuck and helps identify small, practical steps toward change.

Susan uses a collaborative, client-centered style. She draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to notice unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. Mindfulness techniques are used to build present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity.

Sessions also bring solution-focused strategies to set short-term goals and track progress. The work is straightforward and skills-based when helpful, with time spent on understanding the personal story behind symptoms.

People who come to her often want clearer boundaries, less reactivity, and better communication. Susan helps people practice new ways of responding rather than just talking about problems. Her background in social work informs a practical approach to everyday stressors and caregiving demands.

How sessions work

Working with CBT, Mindfulness and Client-Centered Care Online

Client-centered therapy focuses on what matters most to the person in front of the therapist. It emphasizes listening, validating experience, and shaping the work around the client's goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and teaches concrete skills for changing them. Mindfulness therapy trains present-moment attention and calmer responses to stress and strong emotions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those aims. That collaboration helps decide whether to emphasize skills training, present-moment practices, or problem-solving steps.

Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy life and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to keep regular appointments during work or caregiving days, and it allows sessions when leaving home would be difficult. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the current session options before booking to know what is offered.
