About Susan
Susan Hull is an Ohio licensed independent social worker (LISW) with 17 years of clinical experience working with adults. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, depression, addictions, and related concerns such as compassion fatigue and family issues. Susan also lists guilt and shame among the issues she addresses.
Susan uses straightforward, person-centered work to help people understand their feelings and patterns. She pays attention to attachment and how past relationships affect current behavior. Sessions often include practical strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy and skills drawn from dialectical behavior therapy.
She also integrates mindfulness practices to help people notice emotions without getting swept away. Motivational interviewing can appear when someone is weighing changes around substance use or lifestyle shifts. The focus is on small, manageable steps rather than big, sudden fixes.
Susan has experience supporting people dealing with caregiver stress, first responder and veteran issues, and end-of-life or hospice concerns. She works with people facing abandonment, codependency, communication problems, narcissism, and panic symptoms. Cancer-related emotional challenges are also within her stated focus.
In sessions she aims to build clearer self-understanding and better coping skills. She helps people talk through past wounds, reckon with guilt or shame, and develop ways to handle moods and relationships going forward. To begin, she asks people to describe their immediate concerns and what they hope to change.
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current connections and emotional patterns. Online sessions can use this approach to untangle recurring relationship hurts and to practice new ways of relating in everyday life.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and the client's own goals. In remote sessions this often means reflecting back what the person says and letting them lead the pace and focus of the work.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and then testing small changes. Online meetings can include brief exercises, home practice, and tracking patterns between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Susan will work with clients to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can shift as therapy progresses.
The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Those practical benefits often help people keep consistent contact with a therapist while they work through guilt, shame, trauma, or mood concerns.
