Dr. Susan Lieberman

Dr. Susan Lieberman uses a practical, person-focused approach to help people manage anger and related struggles. She blends straightforward techniques with steady support so clients can handle stress, mood changes, and relationship strain. Dr. Lieberman holds KS Psychologist LP 1071 and brings 24 years of clinical experience to her practice in Kansas.

Her work centers on helping people cope with anxiety, depression, ADHD, addictions, bipolar mood concerns, grief, trauma, and work or caregiving strain. She also supports issues around intimacy, self-esteem, sleep, career transitions, and parenting challenges. Her style emphasizes clear communication and building skills that make daily life easier.

In sessions she draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy along with attachment-based and client-centered ideas. That mix is used to develop practical strategies, like building emotional awareness, changing unhelpful thinking patterns, and practicing new ways to respond when anger or distress flares.

She has worked extensively with people navigating chronic health conditions, caregiver stress, adoption and foster care issues, attachment problems, and neurodiversity such as autism and Asperger syndrome. Dr. Lieberman also addresses concerns related to codependency, control issues, and blended family dynamics.

Her sessions aim to be collaborative and focused on real-world change. Clients set goals together with her, and they work step by step to improve communication, reduce reactivity, and increase coping skills for lasting relief.

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice their thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and practicing different behaviors to reduce anger, anxiety, and low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers concrete skills for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and handling conflict more calmly.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and recommend methods that fit their needs. This is a collaborative process that can be adjusted over time as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow focused check-ins during workday breaks. It can also allow people to practice skills in the settings where problems occur, then bring those experiences back to sessions for discussion and adjustment.
