About Susan
Susan LeClair is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Connecticut with 22 years of experience. She has worked in crisis intervention and with issues such as depression, anxiety, grief and loss, and trauma. Her background includes helping people facing relationship strain, parenting challenges, and questions around gender identity and sexual orientation.
She has provided therapy for individuals, couples, and families across a range of difficulties. That work has included co-parenting and divorce concerns, domestic violence, sexual abuse, fertility and adoption matters, and career or life transitions. She uses practical, focused conversations to address what is happening now and what a person wants to change.
Susan describes her approach as straightforward and ethical. She aims to build trust so people can tackle hard topics. If she believes another clinician could better address a particular problem, she will suggest a referral.
Sessions typically focus on clear goals and small steps toward them. In talking through the issues, she looks for ways to reduce immediate distress and to strengthen communication and problem solving. Parents and adults dealing with family conflict or parenting strain may find this emphasis useful.
Her practice places an emphasis on honest feedback and realistic planning. She will work with each person to set goals and measure progress. Contacting the practice and completing the initial steps will begin the process of scheduling a first session.
How sessions work
Solution-focused work and online sessions
Solution-Focused Therapy focuses on what you want to change and on practical steps to get there. Sessions zero in on current strengths and small, achievable goals so people can see progress quickly. This approach can help with relationship conflicts, parenting strains, anxiety, and life transitions.Finding the right approach is part of working together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what methods seem likely to help. That collaborative conversation guides whether to use solution-focused techniques or to adjust the plan over time.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier and help fit sessions into busy days. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited or offer an alternative to traveling to an office. Licensed professionals can adapt their methods to remote work while focusing on the same practical goals as in-person therapy.
