About Susan
Susan Henry, LISW, LCSW, is a licensed social worker practicing in Minnesota with 25 years of clinical experience. She works with people on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, and a broad range of life changes and mood issues. Her practice also addresses ADHD, bipolar disorder, eating and sleeping problems, parenting and intimacy-related concerns, and LGBT-related issues.
Susan uses practical talk therapy grounded in several well-known approaches. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and experiment with small behavior changes. Attachment-based ideas guide work on closeness, trust, and relationship patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used for emotion regulation and coping when feelings are intense.
Sessions focus on clear goals, skill practice, and real-world problem solving. She helps people make step-by-step plans for coping with grief, reducing anxiety, or managing mood swings. Conversation includes looking at thoughts, behaviors, and relationships that keep problems going, then trying out alternatives.
Susan also supports people facing caregiving strain, chronic illness, adoption and foster care issues, body image and self-esteem concerns, and career stress. She pays attention to how attachment history and life stress interact with current struggles.
People who prefer direct feedback and practical exercises may find this approach useful. To start, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session to set goals and plan next steps.

How Susan applies therapeutic approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that reflect their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through practical exercises and behavior experiments. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating difficulties. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relationship patterns and trust issues to improve closeness and relationship functioning.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Susan will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions often blend these approaches so techniques fit the issue being addressed rather than sticking to a single model.
Confirm current session formats before booking. The aim of online sessions is to make therapy fit daily life more easily, for example by reducing travel time, making it simpler to fit a session into a work break, or offering shorter check-ins when that suits the person. Ask about available formats and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire.
