Susan Huerta

Susan Huerta is a Florida-based licensed mental health counselor with 15 years of clinical experience. She helps people manage anxiety, depression, grief, and addiction while supporting work and life transitions. Her practice also pays attention to self-esteem, communication problems, and social isolation.

She works with people facing caregiver strain, chronic illness, and challenges that come with aging. She also supports those navigating divorce, blended family adjustments, and commitment concerns. Her background includes helping people cope with anger, trauma, and substance use issues.

Susan uses a practical, respectful style in sessions. She focuses on building resilience and everyday coping skills. Conversations often include setting small goals, practicing new ways to handle stress, and strengthening relationships.

Her approach combines evidence-informed methods with a person-centered attitude. She aims to help people reconnect with their values and make changes that feel meaningful. Clients can expect work that balances clear strategies and time to process emotions.

People typically start by clarifying what matters most to them and then try straightforward exercises between meetings. Over time the focus shifts toward maintaining gains and applying new skills to daily life. The goal is steady, manageable change rather than sudden fixes.

How her approaches work for online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small steps toward those values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and career or life direction struggles because it pairs practical action with acceptance of difficult feelings.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches skills to change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with panic, depression, workplace stress, and problems with daily routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your concerns, goals, and preferences and recommend which methods to try first. That decision is collaborative and can change as needs shift.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins between in-person meetings. It can also let someone use sessions from different locations when travel or schedule changes occur. Licensed professionals adapt exercises and homework to an online setting so the work remains practical and goal oriented.
