About Susan
Susan Gallagher is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Washington. She focuses on helping people strengthen self esteem, cope with grief and life changes, and manage stress and anger. Susan aims to make the first step toward change feel more achievable and less overwhelming.
She uses a calm, open approach in sessions so people can talk about hard feelings without judgment. Conversations focus on what matters to each person and practical steps they can try between meetings. Susan pays attention to motivation, confidence, and the things that get in the way of daily functioning.
Her work draws on a few different approaches depending on the person’s needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test new behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports making values-based choices even with difficult emotions present. Motivational Interviewing can help when someone feels stuck or unsure about change.
Over eight years of clinical practice, Susan has supported people facing anxiety, depression, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, and relationship and intimacy-related issues. She also works with concerns such as body image, caregiver stress, grief, and compassion fatigue. Her background includes helping people navigate career questions, communication problems, and recovery after separation.
Susan offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. If someone is ready to begin, she guides them through a short matching questionnaire and scheduling steps to connect and plan next sessions.
