About Susan

Susan Reimers is a licensed social worker in Washington who helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self esteem, and depression. She focuses on practical steps that build confidence and day-to-day coping. She also supports people facing LGBTQ issues, motivation struggles, and life changes.

With eight years of clinical experience, Susan draws on straightforward, evidence-based techniques. She blends cognitive behavioral strategies with skills for managing emotions and acceptance-based work. Sessions emphasize clear goals, small experiments, and steady progress rather than jargon or theory.

Susan places a strong emphasis on listening first. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and looks for strengths to build on. Early sessions usually focus on understanding what matters to the client and identifying a few achievable next steps.

Therapy often includes skill practice between meetings and short, concrete tools to use during stressful moments. For people navigating gender transition or religious trauma, she brings focused attention to the particular challenges those experiences can create. Work may also address workplace stress, social anxiety, and relationship communication problems.

She encourages clients to take the process at their own pace and to try different approaches until something fits. The goal is to help people notice change they can use in everyday life and to strengthen self-love and purpose over time.

How evidence-based approaches guide online care

CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments to reduce anxiety and negative self-talk. It is often used to tackle stress, mood difficulties, and low self esteem.

Dialectical behavior therapy skills provide tools for regulating intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. These skills can help with social anxiety, workplace stress, and managing strong reactions to difficult events.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy emphasizes clarifying personal values and taking small committed actions toward them, even when uncomfortable thoughts or feelings appear. It can support people working through life transitions and questions about purpose.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and try techniques together, adjusting the plan as needed until a good fit emerges.
