Susanne Jenemann

Susanne Jenemann is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 20 years of experience in New York. She frames therapy around each person's story and strengths. She offers a calm, straightforward presence for people who feel stuck by stress, anxiety, grief, anger, or life changes.

She works with concerns such as trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and addiction. Susanne also supports people navigating relationship and family difficulties, parenting strain, and the effects of prejudice or military-related experiences. Her background includes long-term clinical work with diverse communities.

In sessions she listens first and follows the client’s lead. Conversations are practical and focused on what the client wants to change. She helps people identify small steps that fit into daily life and build on existing strengths.

Susanne draws on a mix of clinical approaches, including client-centered work, narrative methods, Trauma-Focused Therapy, the Gottman Method for relationship concerns, and Internal Family Systems. These approaches are used to understand patterns, process difficult memories, and improve communication where relevant.

People often come wanting relief from persistent worry, recurring conflict, or painful memories. Susanne aims to create a respectful space to talk through those issues and try out new ways of responding. If someone is ready to begin, she asks them to describe what they most want from therapy and then shapes sessions around those goals.

How her approaches translate to remote care

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following the client's priorities. It helps people who need a steady, empathic presence while they sort out stress, worry, or decisions. Narrative Therapy focuses on the stories people tell about themselves and looks for different ways to frame problems so change feels possible. Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the impact of traumatic experiences and works on processing difficult memories and reducing their hold on daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then recommend which methods to try. That choice is collaborative and can be adjusted as therapy progresses.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking. Many people find online work helpful because it can fit into busy schedules and reduce travel time. Some formats make it easier to check in during a short break from work, or to meet when travel is difficult. Talk with the therapist about what will work best for your routine and for the problems you want to address.
