Sus Austill

Sus Austill is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 37 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage anger alongside concerns like addiction, trauma, anxiety, and parenting stress. She speaks English and Danish and practices from Florida while accepting international clients.

Her approach is practical and down to earth. Sessions focus on listening first, then adding tools that fit each person's situation. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, narrative techniques, and a client-centered stance to tailor the work to what the person actually needs.

Sus brings long personal experience with recovery and raising children, plus decades working in outpatient, residential, and inpatient settings. That mix shapes a flexible style that uses genograms, recovery-focused methods, and strategies for coping with moral injury, compassion fatigue, and PTSD when needed.

People come to her for substance use concerns, mood disorders like depression and bipolar, ADHD, grief, and relationship or family-of-origin issues. She also supports those facing caregiver stress, cancer-related issues, immigration challenges, and the isolation that can follow major life changes.

Her sessions aim to help people notice unhelpful patterns, practice new responses, and tell the stories that matter to them. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session according to availability. The subscription model used for sessions can be canceled at any time.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following what the person needs. The therapist offers empathic attention and helps people name their priorities, which can make online sessions feel focused and practical.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches small experiments and skills to change unhelpful patterns. Online work can use worksheets, practice tasks, and short between-session exercises to reinforce what is learned in session.

Mindfulness therapy brings simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and improve awareness of emotional triggers. These techniques can be shared and practiced together during sessions and used as brief tools during the week.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to goals and preferences, try methods that seem to fit, and adjust over time based on what helps. Clients help shape the plan and can say when something needs to change.

The biography does not list specific session delivery methods, so confirm available formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel, allowing shorter check-ins on a break, or enabling access from a different time zone. It also lets the therapist share exercises, record steps for practice, and keep the focus on building new habits that carry into daily life.
