About Susan
Susan Hull is an Ohio licensed independent social worker (LISW) with 17 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, depression, addictions, LGBT concerns, family and coping with life changes.
She uses practical, person-focused methods to help people sort through strong emotions. Sessions are a place to talk about what’s happened, notice patterns, and try simple new ways of reacting. She often works with people who struggle with mood disorders, panic, and the long-term effects of trauma.
Susan also supports those facing caregiver strain, cancer-related distress, and end-of-life concerns. She helps people who have problems with abandonment, attachment, codependency, or communication. She has experience supporting first responders and veterans who are managing stress related to their roles.
Her practice includes attention to substance use and addiction issues, including drug and alcohol concerns. She uses methods that help people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, build emotion regulation, and increase present-moment awareness. Practical skills and steady feedback are part of sessions.
People who choose her often want clear steps to manage anxiety, grief, or relationship difficulties that affect day-to-day life. To start, she asks about what feels most pressing and works with each person to set realistic, manageable goals.
How sessions work
Approaches that guide online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current patterns. It helps people notice where they feel disconnected or fearful and learn different ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers concrete tools to reduce anxiety, depression, and panic by testing and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their concerns, goals, and preferences and then suggest methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.
Session formats are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins across the week, or scheduling a session during a work break when needed. It also removes travel time and can help people maintain continuity of care during life transitions. Licensed professionals adapt techniques so practical skills can be learned and practiced between meetings.
