About Susana

Susana (Susie) Hernandez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps adults and teens facing stress and anxiety. She focuses on building a trusting relationship so clients feel heard and supported. Susie aims to help people find a stronger sense of identity and belonging as they work through life challenges.

Susie centers the counseling relationship as the starting point for change. She listens for what matters most to each person and uses that as a guide for next steps. Her work includes practical strategies for anxiety, depression, life transitions, and addictions, along with support for parenting and relationship concerns.

Her style blends a few evidence-based approaches. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thinking patterns. She also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and take meaningful action. Attachment-informed work helps when relationship patterns feel stuck.

Sessions often include talking through specific problems, practicing new skills, and reflecting on how personal history shapes current choices. Spiritual beliefs can be included in sessions when the client wants that. Susie aims to help people move toward a life that feels more integrated and steady.

Outside of her LPC practice in Texas, Susie spends time with family at parks, in the gym, or cooking at home. She brings a down-to-earth and warm presence to sessions.

Approaches that guide online work

Susie uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can reduce anxiety and improve everyday coping. She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and communication. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps clients clarify values and take steps toward a meaningful life while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will collaborate with each client to pick strategies that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean mixing brief skill practice with deeper conversations about identity and belonging.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example allowing shorter check-ins between errands, avoiding travel time, or letting someone join from a different city. Licensed professionals can also use remote sessions to continue consistent work through life changes and relocations.
