About Susan
She draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy to address effects of past harm and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot patterns that keep problems going. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts without getting stuck, and Attachment-Based Therapy supports stronger ways of relating to others.
Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person. The therapist listens for what matters most and helps set small, practical goals. Conversations often include skill-building for emotion regulation, communication, and handling setbacks.
Her background includes long-term work with adults dealing with mood disorders, workplace stress, chronic health concerns, and caregiving strains. She has experience supporting people through grief, addiction issues, relationship challenges, and compassion fatigue.
Dr. Lieberman uses clear, direct language in sessions and focuses on tools people can use between meetings. She encourages steady progress rather than quick fixes and adjusts methods to fit each person’s goals and life situation.
How trauma-informed and evidence-based methods work online
Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people address the effects of past harm by focusing on how those events affect thoughts, feelings, and daily routines. It aims to reduce the ways trauma interferes with current life and relationships.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical ways to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting locked into them. It helps people clarify values and take small steps toward a life that matters to them.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships. It can help people understand why they react a certain way with others and practice different ways of connecting.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them over time based on how things are going.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current options before booking. The therapist emphasizes practical tools that translate into day-to-day life whether sessions are remote or in person.
