About Susan
Susan Urtz is a Florida licensed mental health counselor with 25 years of clinical experience. She is credentialed as an LMHC and LCMHC and has spent her career helping adults sort through stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and related concerns.
She works with adults on practical problems and everyday pressures. That includes parenting strain, family conflicts, grief, addiction-related concerns, career stress, and coping with life changes such as divorce or illness. She also supports people navigating ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and issues related to adoption and blended families.
Susan uses straightforward counseling methods rather than jargon. She draws on cognitive behavioral work and mindfulness to help people notice patterns, test small changes, and try new habits. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas and solution-focused steps also appear in sessions when they fit the concern.
Sessions tend to concentrate on concrete skills - communication, managing strong feelings, and problem-solving at home and work. She listens for what is getting in the way of daily functioning and suggests small, actionable practices that can be used between meetings.
Her approach values each person’s life story and practical needs. Adults who are worn down by caregiving, parenting responsibilities, workplace stress, or recurring family conflict may find the focus here is on usable strategies and steady support to make changes over time.
How sessions work
Approaches used and how online work can fit
Susan integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness into her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing alternative ways of thinking and behaving, which helps with anxiety, depression, and problem patterns. Mindfulness practice teaches simple attention and breathing habits to reduce reactivity and improve coping with stress.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas that emphasize noticing difficult feelings while committing to actions that matter. These approaches are practical and goal-oriented, which can help with parenting strain, relationship stress, and life transitions. Deciding which approach to emphasize is part of the early work and will be based on a client’s goals and preferences in collaboration with the therapist.

The therapist will help match methods and pacing to everyday life so sessions are useful and manageable.
