About Susan

Susan Hallett is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in California with 15 years of experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or grief. Susan also supports those struggling with self-esteem, motivation, and major life changes.

She approaches therapy believing each person knows their own story and strengths. Sessions focus on identifying what already works for the client and building practical steps from there. The tone in her work is supportive and empowering, aimed at helping people take manageable steps toward feeling better.

In the room she listens for concrete problems and concrete goals. Conversations often include practical strategies for coping with difficult emotions and decisions. She helps people practice new ways of handling relationships, communication issues, and the everyday strain of change.

Susan pays attention to how loss and grief affect daily life and motivation. She works with clients to rebuild routines and regain momentum after setbacks. Forgiveness, self-love, and clarifying life purpose come up as part of that recovery work.

People who choose her for support can expect direct, down-to-earth guidance. Her approach centers on coaching toward real-life shifts rather than abstract theory. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability.

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

How evidence-based techniques fit into online therapy

Many clients benefit from practical, evidence-based techniques that focus on changing daily patterns and managing difficult feelings. One common method helps people learn coping skills for stress and anxiety by practicing breathing, activity planning, and short behavioral experiments to test what helps. This approach is useful for day-to-day overwhelm and anxious thinking.

Another helpful technique centers on grief and mood work. It includes organizing memories, building routines, and small goals to restore motivation and interest. That kind of work supports people moving through loss and regaining energy for daily life.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work collaboratively with each person to decide which techniques to try, adjusting based on how the client responds and what feels most useful. The aim is to match methods to real goals and preferences rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.

Session formats supported by this profile are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins that focus on short-term goals or ongoing coping skills. Many people use remote sessions to practice new skills between meetings and to maintain steady progress amid life’s demands.
