About Susan
Dr. Susan Lieberman is a Kansas psychologist with 24 years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, parenting strains, relationship tension, and substance concerns. She also works with people facing grief, trauma, ADHD, bipolar mood issues, and problems with intimacy or self-esteem.
Her work focuses on practical skills and clearer communication. Sessions look at what gets in the way of daily functioning and what small changes might help. She uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral methods, acceptance and commitment ideas, and attachment-informed work to guide the process.
Clients often come wanting better ways to handle anger, sleeping problems, or the fatigue that comes from caregiving. She also assists people dealing with adoption and foster care issues, blended family challenges, and chronic illness or pain. The emphasis is on workable steps for everyday life rather than abstract theory.
Her background includes long-term experience with workplace stress and people balancing health and family demands. She describes a collaborative style where the client’s priorities shape the work. Over time she helps people notice patterns, shift unhelpful behaviors, and practice new responses.
Sessions are offered in English and reflect a mix of evidence-based methods such as CBT, DBT skills, ACT, attachment-based approaches, and client-centered listening. Prospective clients from outside the United States are not accepted, and location is Kansas.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings remain. It can help people who feel stuck making life changes or managing ongoing worry. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and communication. It can be useful for people who want to understand closeness, trust, and emotional responsiveness. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills for changing thinking and behavior that sustain anxiety, depression, or sleep problems, and it often includes short exercises to practice between sessions.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then suggest methods that match what the client wants to address. That collaborative decision is revisited as progress is made and needs change.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel time, and keep check-ins brief when needed. Some formats use less bandwidth or do not require being on camera, which can help with practical constraints. Licensed professionals bring the same kinds of therapeutic tasks online - skill teaching, behavior experiments, and communication practice - so the focus remains on usable, everyday change rather than abstract theory.
