About Susan
Susan Resnik is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida with 20 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship struggles, and parenting strain. Her approach focuses on practical steps that make daily life easier for worried parents and adults.
Susan uses straightforward, supportive conversation to help people identify patterns that cause pain. She listens closely and helps clients set small, achievable goals.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to reduce overwhelm and build skills that carry into everyday routines. She draws on a mix of proven methods, including cognitive behavioral tools, acceptance-based strategies, and emotion-focused work. Those approaches are used to tackle things like communication problems, codependency, commitment worries, and shame.
Treatment is tailored to what each person needs and wants to change. Susan often works with women and young adults, helping them explore self-love, life purpose, and forgiveness. She focuses on improving relationships and strengthening emotional resilience.
The tone is warm, practical, and nonjudgmental. As an LMHC - Licensed Mental Health Counselor - she has practiced in Florida for two decades. New clients start by describing what matters most to them, then Susan helps map a clear path forward.
The goal is steady progress, one realistic step at a time.
How therapeutic approaches fit into online care
Susan commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and it supports taking actions that match personal values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying different behaviors to change feelings and outcomes.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Susan will listen to what matters most, discuss options in plain language, and adjust methods as goals evolve. Together the therapist and client decide which tools to try first and when to shift focus based on progress and preference.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls are useful for full conversations and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and messaging is helpful for brief updates or thoughts between meetings. These formats provide flexibility so therapy can happen around parenting, work, and everyday commitments.
