About Susan

Susan Gerber is a licensed professional counselor in New Mexico with 40 years of experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship or intimacy concerns. She also supports those facing parenting challenges, sleep problems, anger, trauma and abuse, and issues like infidelity or jealousy.

Susan focuses on creating a calm, open space where people can say what they really feel. She emphasizes simple, direct conversation and practical steps you can try between sessions. She avoids judgment and works at the client pace to build trust and momentum.

Her approach centers on listening first, then helping clients set clear, doable goals. That might mean talking through relationship patterns, building confidence, or finding ways to cope with major life changes. She aims to make therapy feel like an ordinary part of life rather than something distant or scary.

Susan has long experience across many concerns, including grief and loss, self-esteem, and motivation. She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques while staying focused on the needs in the room. Her style is steady and encouraging, with attention to small changes that add up.

For people unsure where to begin, she recommends starting with one concrete issue to work on together. That first conversation helps shape future sessions and the practical steps that follow.

This summary is based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp.

Approaches and how online work can fit

Susan uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on helping people change daily patterns and cope more effectively. One common approach she uses clarifies current thoughts and behaviors and then builds practical alternatives to reduce stress and anxiety. This helps with symptoms like sleeplessness, worry, and low mood.

Another approach organizes conversations around relationships and intimacy. Sessions look at how people interact, identify repeating patterns, and practice different ways of responding to reduce conflict and improve connection. That approach can also address issues such as infidelity and jealousy in a step-by-step way.

Finding the right way to work together is a team effort. Susan will help you pick an approach based on your goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. She typically starts with a focused problem and adjusts methods as you make progress.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins that focus on immediate concerns. It also offers flexibility for brief touchpoints or longer deep work depending on what you and the therapist decide is most useful.
