About Susana
Susana Deltoro, LPC, is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with 11 years of experience. She is bilingual in English and Spanish and works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and parenting concerns. Her practice also addresses intimacy-related problems, self-esteem, sleep difficulties, and coping with life changes.
Susana trained at the University of the Southwest, earning a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling after completing her undergraduate degree magna cum laude in psychology. Early clinical work included a graduate internship at Santa Maria Hostel in Houston, where she focused on co-occurring disorders in women and families and led group therapy in intensive and outpatient settings.
In sessions she leans on client-centered principles, meeting people where they are and listening first. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at unhelpful thoughts and patterns, and uses Motivational Interviewing to support people weighing change. Existential ideas and mindfulness inform conversations about meaning and daily practice.
Practical concerns often guide her work: improving communication, managing anger, navigating blended family stress, and handling caregiver strain. She also addresses multicultural and immigration-related issues and money or career stresses that affect family life.
Susana conducts therapy in English and Spanish. She combines talk, reflective questions, and skill practice so people leave sessions with specific steps they can try between meetings. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and exploring what matters most to the client. The therapist reflects concerns, encourages self-direction, and supports people as they name goals and priorities. This approach helps when someone needs someone to listen and clarify what they want to change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Sessions often include identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying small experiments or exercises between meetings. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress that affects daily routines.
Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck about making a change. The therapist asks focused questions to elicit personal motivations and to weigh options without pressure. This method can be useful for parenting changes, substance-related concerns, or shifting long-standing habits.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the first sessions. The therapist will work collaboratively to find what fits the client's needs, goals, and preferences and will adjust methods as progress is reviewed.
Session formats were not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around parenting, work, and caregiving. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight or for quieter sessions when being on camera is not ideal.
