Susan Urtz

Susan Urtz is a licensed mental health counselor with 25 years of experience. She practices in Florida and brings steady, practical support to people facing stress, anger, relationship strain, and other challenges. She helps clients who want real change and clearer ways to move forward.

Susan works with individuals and couples and draws on several evidence-informed approaches. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits. She pairs that with mindfulness to build calm and present-moment awareness. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to clarify values and small steps that match what matters most to each person.

Sessions tend to focus on problem solving, clearer communication, and concrete tools for coping. Susan aims to make sessions straightforward and usable between meetings. She listens for strengths and helps people notice patterns that keep problems repeating.

Her background includes long-term clinical experience across mood issues, ADHD, grief, addiction, parenting concerns, and family conflict. That experience informs practical strategies for managing anger, improving relationships, and handling life transitions.

Susan emphasizes collaboration when setting goals. She encourages people to try new approaches and adjust them as needed. People who want down-to-earth guidance and steady support often find this style a good fit.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Susan commonly blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her practice. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, making it useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and ADHD-related challenges. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small, committed steps toward those values even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist works with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences. Sessions can shift over time so the approach stays useful as needs change.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. The therapist will explain available formats and help fit sessions into busy schedules. Online work can make it easier to keep regular appointments, fit therapy around work or caregiving, and use brief check-ins when that suits the plan.
