Susan Armstrong is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) practicing in Montana with 11 years of experience. She focuses on helping people reduce stress, manage anxiety and anger, and build self esteem. Her work also covers depression, attention and focus concerns, and motivation and confidence challenges.
She approaches each person as the expert on their own life and looks for strengths to draw on during change. Sessions are practical and straightforward, centered on what a person wants to change and small steps they can try between meetings. Susan aims to make the first steps feel manageable and encouraging.
In sessions she talks through patterns that get in the way of goals and helps people try new ways of coping. She pays attention to concentration and memory issues when those affect daily life or work. She also helps people untangle control problems, communication breakdowns, and issues tied to attachment and relationships.
Susan has worked across mood and anxiety concerns, including obsessive or compulsive behaviors, post-traumatic stress, disruptive mood dysregulation disorder, and social phobia. She also supports people dealing with workplace stress, impulsivity, and the process of forgiveness when that is part of healing.
Her approach is collaborative and down-to-earth. She encourages clients to name their goals, test small changes, and notice what helps. The work is paced to each person’s needs and moves at a practical, achievable rhythm.
Approaches that guide online work and goal-setting
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on learning practical skills and testing small changes in everyday life. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and try alternative ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety or low mood; it is useful for worry, low self esteem, and many mood concerns. Another approach emphasizes building clear, doable coping strategies and routines to improve focus, motivation, and memory, which can help with ADHD-related struggles and concentration problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist partners with the client to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That means discussing what has or hasn’t worked in the past, trying techniques in short cycles, and adjusting based on results so the plan stays practical and relevant.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make therapy easier to fit into a day by removing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people attend from a familiar setting, conserve energy for focused work, and schedule sessions around work or family rhythms without promising a particular format.
