About Susan

Susan Clark is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with 9 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, low self-esteem, and challenges related to attention and focus. Her practice emphasizes practical support for concentration, memory, motivation, and confidence while addressing the broader effects of trauma and victimization.

Susan has a particular focus on young children, adolescents, and young adults who are navigating traumatic experiences, victimization, sex trafficking recovery, or common childhood behavioral concerns. She aims to create a welcoming, comfortable, and even engaging environment where young people feel seen, heard, and supported as they work through difficult moments.

Her work uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that are tailored to each client’s needs, with the goal of building resilience, promoting healing, and encouraging continued growth regardless of the size of the problem. Susan values early intervention and believes that addressing challenges during childhood and adolescence offers a strong opportunity for long-term positive change. She understands that beginning therapy takes courage and recognizes clients for taking that first step toward support.

Evidence-Based Techniques for Youth and Online Access

Susan Clark draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that emphasize skill building and developmental fit. One approach focuses on practical coping skills and problem-solving strategies to reduce anxiety, improve attention, and strengthen day-to-day functioning for young people and adults. Another approach centers on trauma-informed methods that help clients process distressing experiences and build resilience in the aftermath of victimization or abuse. A third element involves developmentally tailored, engaging methods for children and adolescents that use age-appropriate activities to encourage expression, regulation, and growth.

Susan approaches treatment collaboratively, working with each client and, when appropriate, caregivers to determine which techniques best match the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. She views finding the right approach as a shared process and adjusts methods as progress and circumstances evolve.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for scheduling and make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. These formats allow licensed professionals to offer consistent support across a range of communication styles, helping clients access care in ways that feel most comfortable and practical for them.
