Susan Frey

Susan Frey is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with two decades of experience. She focuses on practical steps that help people manage strong emotions and life disruptions. Her work often involves clear strategies for anger, stress, anxiety, depression, and addiction concerns.

Susan values straightforward therapy. She typically uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and brief solution-focused work when those fit a person's goals.

Clients meet a therapist who aims to set realistic goals and teach skills that can be used between sessions. Sessions often include working on communication strategies, coping tools for panic or mood swings, and ways to handle cravings or compulsive behaviors. She also addresses relationship problems, grief, and life changes in concrete steps.

Susan brings experience with a broad range of concerns, including ADHD, bipolar disorder, eating concerns, and process or substance addictions. She is also familiar with aging and geriatric issues and supports people with visual impairment using accessible approaches.

The aim of her work is to help people move toward a more satisfying life. She encourages collaboration, steady progress, and practical homework so skills stick beyond the therapy room.

How specific approaches shape online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult feelings without getting stuck in them and to commit to actions that match their values. It can help when anger or anxiety get in the way of what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments to change behavior and mood. This approach is practical for panic, depression, and many stress-related problems.

Picking the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust as needed. Together they decide whether ACT, CBT, or brief solution-focused work is the best way forward.

The biography does not specify which online formats are offered, so confirm session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people use skills learned in therapy directly in their everyday settings. Licensed professionals, including this therapist, aim to tailor sessions so they fit each person’s routine and needs.
