Sus Austill, LCSW

Sus Austill brings a compassionate, steady presence to therapy, offering to walk alongside people as they navigate difficult ground and find new directions. Her approach is shaped by many years of lived experience in recovery and extensive clinical work with children, adolescents, adults, and families across outpatient, residential, and inpatient settings. She values storytelling and listening - creating space for clients to tell their stories, rest when needed, and discover tools for repair or change.

Sus integrates a flexible set of methods rather than relying on a single technique. Her toolbox blends recovery-informed work, motivational interviewing, narrative therapy, cognitive-behavioral ideas, mindful practices, empathetic listening, genograms for family patterns, and elements drawn from gestalt approaches and tai chi. This intuitive mix allows her to tailor support to each person - whether addressing substance use, PTSD and moral injury, compassion fatigue, ADHD, LGBTQ concerns, depression, anxiety, childhood trauma, family systems, grief, or relationship and parenting challenges.

She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - LCSW - which signifies advanced social work training and professional clinical licensure. Sus welcomes people who feel marginalized or isolated and works with clients in English and Danish. She offers in-person and virtual options and accepts international clients, aiming to meet individuals where they are and help them move forward with practical strategies and empathic support.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on an empathic, respectful partnership in which the therapist follows the person’s lead, helping them explore values, strengths, and goals while feeling heard and supported. It is useful for people seeking acceptance, identity work, relationship growth, or guidance through life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It offers practical strategies for managing anxiety, depression, impulsivity, and stress by breaking problems into manageable steps and building new skills.

Mindfulness Therapy encourages present-moment awareness and gentle self-observation to reduce reactivity and increase emotional regulation. It can be particularly helpful for stress, anxiety, and coping with chronic life challenges.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Sus Austill and each client work together to identify which methods fit the client’s needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing people to receive care from home or while traveling. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, manage ongoing commitments, and maintain continuity of care when circumstances change.
