Susan Garon, LMFT

Susan Garon is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 20 years of clinical experience. She is licensed in Florida and Kentucky and brings a calm, respectful presence to sessions. Susan aims to tailor conversation and plans to each person's needs. She focuses on stress and anxiety alongside relationship concerns and life transitions.

Susan works in a straightforward, compassionate way. She listens first, then helps people map what matters most. Practical tools and clear steps are offered when useful. She also supports people processing grief, changes in self-esteem, and the strain of big life shifts.

Her background includes work across a broad range of concerns, such as adoption and foster care, attachment issues, aging and geriatric matters, and challenges that follow natural or human-caused disasters. She has experience with communication problems, blended family issues, divorce and separation, and veteran and armed forces issues.

Susan uses several clinical approaches to match what a person needs. She draws on client-centered methods to follow the client's lead, cognitive behavioral techniques to reduce unhelpful patterns, and emotion-focused tools to name and work with feelings. Existential ideas are woven in when questions about meaning and life purpose arise.

People who want a collaborative, steady guide through stress, anxiety, grief, or major life change may find her style helpful. She encourages honest conversation and practical planning to move toward clearer days.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client's concerns. In practice this means sessions emphasize your priorities and decisions, with the therapist reflecting and clarifying what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns. It can help with stress, anxiety, and coping day-to-day. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, adds structured skills for managing intense feelings and improving emotional regulation and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful when emotions feel overwhelming.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your goals, try a few methods, and adjust the plan based on what helps. That collaborative process aims to find tools that fit your life and preferences.

Confirm available session formats before booking because specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It can also let people use a video option when seeing facial cues helps, or use phone time when bandwidth is limited. The focus is on practical ways to make therapy usable alongside everyday responsibilities.
