Susan King

Susan King is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who helps people who are struggling with anger, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. She approaches therapy with warmth and direct support so people feel heard and understood. Her style focuses on building a trusting relationship first, then working on practical steps to reduce distress and improve everyday functioning.

Susan draws on seven years of clinical experience and a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology. She uses several approaches that match what a person needs, including cognitive-behavioral tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses attachment-based and emotionally focused ideas to improve how people relate to themselves and others.

Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Susan breaks big problems into manageable steps, teaches skills for coping with strong feelings, and helps people practice new ways of responding. She pays attention to patterns that keep problems going, such as communication habits, control struggles, or fear of abandonment.

People who come for help with grief, relationship struggles, parenting stress, substance concerns, or sleep and eating problems will find concrete strategies alongside space to process emotions. She also supports those facing career transitions, midlife changes, or questions of purpose.

Susan works from Michigan and provides care in English. Before scheduling, clients should confirm current session options and formats to make sure they fit their needs.

Approaches that translate well to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy helps people understand patterns in close relationships and how past bonds affect present reactions. It is useful for addressing anger linked to hurt, abandonment, or trust issues.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical strategies to change thinking and behavior. It teaches skills for managing anxiety, mood, sleep, and unhelpful reaction patterns.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on identifying and shifting strong emotions in relationships and personal life. It can help people notice emotional triggers and try new ways of responding instead of escalating into anger.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to pick methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferred pace. That choice can shift over time as progress is made.

Before booking, confirm which session formats are currently offered since formats were not specified in the original biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around work, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins from a familiar setting. Some formats can be shorter for quick skill refreshers, while others allow for deeper hour-long conversations depending on what the client and therapist agree will help most.
