About Susan
Susan Serge is a Wyoming LPC with 12 years of clinical work. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, depression, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses communication problems, guilt and shame, questions about life purpose, self-love, and social anxiety.
Susan uses approaches rooted in cognitive behavioral work and other evidence-based techniques. She has experience in both individual and group settings and has supported people in addiction recovery programs and community mental health organizations.

She has worked in higher education, adoption networks, and student affairs administration. Over the years she has combined clinical roles with leadership duties in behavioral health programs.
Sessions with her tend to have a practical focus. Conversations often center on identifying unhelpful thinking, building coping steps, and practicing new behavior between visits. She draws on her training in suicide prevention and postvention when safety concerns arise.
Outside of work she spends time traveling, cooking, and with her husband, teenage daughter, and two dogs. Her personal faith informs her sense of vocation and the way she approaches clinical work.
How her approaches shape online sessions
Susan uses cognitive behavioral approaches that focus on noticing patterns of thinking and testing small behavior changes in daily life. This method helps when guilt or shame shows up as repetitive self-criticism or avoidance and typically involves short, practical exercises to try between sessions.She also brings techniques from crisis intervention and suicide prevention training to assess safety and make clear, immediate plans if someone is in acute distress. That work focuses on clear steps and supports rather than long explanations, and it can be used alongside other therapeutic methods.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist and client review goals, try methods, and adjust as needed. Sessions are paced to match what a person can manage, with shared decisions about homework, check-ins, and next steps.
The original biography does not list specific online formats. Please confirm current session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can work therapy into a lunch break or between errands. Licensed professionals adapt techniques like behavioral experiments and thought records to work over remote sessions so progress can continue between meetings.
