About Susan
Susan Galewaler is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Texas with 30 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and depression. She also addresses related struggles such as abandonment, attachment concerns, caregiver stress, and challenges after divorce or separation.
Susan draws on long experience with families facing custody questions and has co-authored an educational book used by family therapists for assessing families and children in difficult custody situations. In sessions she helps people name a problem, sort through what matters most, and set realistic next steps. Conversations are straightforward and focused on practical ways to improve day-to-day interactions.
She gives attention to issues that often sit beneath obvious symptoms - shame, guilt, isolation, and control problems - and helps people untangle how those feelings affect relationships at home. She also works with people managing chronic illness or pain, and with those carrying the stresses of caregiving.
Susan prefers clear communication and steady pacing. Sessions tend to break larger problems into manageable pieces. She supports people as they practice new ways of talking and relating to others.
If you are an adult dealing with strained family ties, parenting strain, or personal distress tied to relationship patterns, she can help you sort next steps and try different approaches to ease daily life.
How sessions work
How evidence-based techniques are used in online sessions
Many clients start with techniques that target symptoms and coping skills. These include structured, evidence-based methods that focus on identifying thought and behavior patterns and learning practical skills to reduce anxiety and depression. Such approaches help with stress, daily mood, and clearer communication at home.Another common focus is addressing attachment and relationship patterns. Work in this area looks at how past losses or abandonment influence current reactions, and it includes exercises to practice different ways of connecting and setting boundaries. This can be useful for adults dealing with strained partner or family relationships.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress is made. Clients are invited to give feedback so sessions stay practical and focused.
