Susan Jentoft

Susan Jentoft is a licensed professional counselor with 25 years of experience helping people manage strong emotions and everyday problems. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction concerns, and anger. Her approach is calm and practical, aimed at helping people find clearer ways to cope and move forward.

Her work focuses on the person in front of her, not a single technique. She listens for what matters most and adapts methods to fit each situation. That might mean looking at thoughts and behaviors, practicing mindful awareness, or focusing on values and committed action. She also uses emotion-focused conversation when relationship feelings come up.

Susan helps people with life transitions like career shifts, caregiving, aging, and changing family roles. She also addresses intimacy issues, communication problems, body image, and the strain caused by chronic stress or burnout. Practical problem solving and building small daily habits are common parts of her work.

Sessions aim to be straightforward and goal oriented. People leave with clear steps to try between meetings. Over time the focus is on improving how someone copes, feels, and connects with others.

Susan practices in Mississippi and connects with people in English. She welcomes international clients and encourages anyone interested to consider whether her style feels like a good match.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. It focuses on noticing thoughts without getting stuck and building meaningful habits. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to develop practical skills for reducing anxiety, depression, and unhelpful patterns. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on each person's experience, using empathic listening to help people feel heard and become clearer about their next steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Susan will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and daily realities, and then recommend ways of working together. That decision is collaborative and can change as goals shift over time.

The therapist biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they fit more easily into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow a shorter check-in when needed. Online work can support emotional regulation skills, ACT value-based steps, and CBT practice assignments while helping people integrate changes into their everyday routines.
