About Susan
Susan Davis is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oregon with six years of clinical experience. She helps people who struggle with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, anger, bipolar disorder, self-esteem, depression, and a range of related concerns using approaches she lists, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing.
Susan uses straightforward talk therapy and skills practice in sessions. She focuses on practical steps that reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day coping. She also works with people affected by personality and mood disorders and with veterans and others who have complex or co-occurring issues.
Her approach is collaborative and client-centered. That means sessions focus on the person’s goals and lived experience. She draws from several therapy models to suit the problem at hand, mixing skills training, values-based work, and motivational strategies.
Susan has experience addressing addictions, including drug and alcohol issues and behavioral/process addictions. She also lists work with gender dysphoria, LGBT concerns, communication problems, guilt and shame, and questions around sexuality and life purpose.
Sessions emphasize concrete tools such as coping skills, behavior change techniques, and emotion regulation strategies. She highlights practical progress over time and works on patterns that keep problems going. To start, a short intake helps set priorities and identify which approaches will be used in treatment.
