About Susan

Susan Filosa, LPC, offers support for stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self esteem, and coping with life changes. She focuses on helping people build resilience and find practical ways to handle overwhelming moments. Sessions aim to give straightforward tools for calmer thinking and clearer choices.

Susan draws on client-centered methods that center the person's own experience. She also uses emotionally-focused and mindfulness-based ideas to help people notice feelings and respond differently. Narrative techniques help reframe difficult stories that keep people stuck.

Her work is shaped by ten years of clinical experience in varied settings, including hospitals and residential programs. That background informs how she approaches trauma, grief, and high-stress situations. She meets people where they are and adjusts the pace to what they need.

Sessions often include practical exercises, short skills practice, and sometimes creative tasks to help people access new perspectives. The goal is steady, usable progress rather than rush or pressure. People leave with concrete steps they can use between sessions.

Susan offers services in English and Spanish and is based in Colorado. She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire to get started. Scheduling follows the therapist's availability and uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s lead. It helps people feel heard and clarify what matters to them, which can ease low self esteem and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) pays attention to emotions in the moment and the needs behind them. It is useful when patterns of worry or avoidance make relationships and self-trust harder. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple practices to notice thoughts and bodily reactions without judgment, which can reduce reactivity and improve focus.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. That means trying techniques, checking in about what helps, and shifting course when something is not working.

The original biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing easier scheduling around work or family. Online meetings can make short check-ins or regular weekly appointments simpler to manage and allow the use of mindfulness exercises and narrative work between sessions.
