Rev. Susan Sciarratta is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania who helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, grief, and life changes. She draws on 12 years of counseling experience and a previous 20-year career as a professional engineer to bring practical problem-solving to emotional challenges. She aims to treat people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion while tailoring work to each person's needs.

Her sessions focus on immediate concerns like relationship strain, low self-esteem, motivation, and coping with loss. She uses straightforward conversation and collaborative planning to set clear goals. She supports clients dealing with caregiver stress, compassion fatigue, and midlife transitions.

Susan adapts her approach to the person in front of her, creating steps that feel manageable and realistic. She pays attention to how daily routines, work pressures, and family roles affect feelings and behavior. Her background in engineering informs a practical, organized way of approaching problems.

Clients can expect direct talk about what’s happening now, and simple tools to try between meetings. She emphasizes small, achievable changes rather than abrupt overhauls. Her style is steady, encouraging, and focused on helping people move toward a more fulfilling life.

Sessions are shaped around each person’s goals, whether that means building confidence, managing anger, or navigating grief. Susan supports people through transitions such as aging concerns, fertility and postpartum issues, and hospice or end-of-life questions. She works in English and practices throughout Pennsylvania as an LPC.

How therapeutic approaches guide online care

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques often used in counseling include practical problem-solving and grief-focused supports. Practical problem-solving breaks down worries into clear steps, helping people test small changes and track what works for stress, anger, or low motivation. Grief-focused supports offer space to name losses, manage intense feelings, and find ways to honor change while moving forward.

Finding the right approach is a shared task. The therapist will work together with each person to identify goals and try methods that fit their needs and pace. Adjustments are made along the way based on what helps most, so the plan evolves with the client's experience.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and reduce travel time. It also allows shorter check-ins when a brief update is needed, or audio-only meetings when video is difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt tools and homework to remote sessions so progress continues between meetings.
