Susan King , LMFT

Susan King is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who holds a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology. She offers a warm, supportive, and safe therapeutic space where people can explore change, confront painful patterns, and build healthier ways of relating to themselves and others.

Drawing on both professional experience and personal insight from navigating major life transitions and time spent living in another country and culture, she works with individuals and families facing trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, relationship and parenting challenges, communication problems, and substance-related concerns. Her practice also addresses issues such as self-esteem, coping with life changes, intimacy-related struggles, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger, career concerns, and mood disorders.

Susan emphasizes the therapeutic relationship as a foundation for meaningful work. She uses a relational approach to tailor treatment plans to each person’s needs, collaboratively examining unhelpful patterns and supporting steps toward healing and growth. She is prepared to help clients explore identity, improve communication, process loss, and move toward greater presence and flourishing in daily life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Susan King integrates several evidence-informed approaches to guide online work, tailoring techniques to each person's goals and circumstances. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns shape current ways of connecting; it helps people understand attachment needs and rebuild trust in close relationships. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and collaboration, giving clients space to explore their own values and strengths while the therapist reflects and supports without judgment. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical tools for managing anxiety, depression, and stressful life events.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Susan King works collaboratively with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences and then adapts methods so therapy fits each person’s life and challenges.

Online sessions via video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging provide flexibility for busy schedules, geographic limitations, and varying comfort levels with communication. These options can make it easier to maintain consistent care, access support from home, and integrate therapy into daily life while working with licensed professionals and therapists who adapt their methods to the online setting.
