Susan Hull is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) practicing in Ohio who brings 17 years of experience supporting adults through complex emotional challenges. She focuses on compassionate, evidence-based care to help people navigate depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, and issues with self-esteem. Her work emphasizes practical strategies and emotional understanding to promote recovery and stronger daily functioning.

Susan offers focused support for mood disorders, attachment difficulties, caregiver stress, and posttraumatic reactions, along with specialized experience addressing women’s issues, military veterans, first responders, and substance-related concerns. Her practice also includes attention to relationship patterns, codependency, communication challenges, and the particular stresses that arise around serious illness and end-of-life situations.

Drawing from attachment-based, client-centered, cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavior, and mindfulness approaches, Susan aims to create a collaborative space where adults can explore feelings, build resilience, and develop coping skills. As a licensed clinician, she combines professional guidance with genuine compassion to help each person identify goals and move toward meaningful change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

In her online practice Susan Hull draws on attachment-based therapy to explore patterns in close relationships and how early bonds affect present-day feelings and reactions. This approach often helps people who struggle with abandonment, attachment issues, and relationship cycles by creating new ways to understand and repair relational patterns.

She also uses client-centered therapy, which emphasizes a nonjudgmental, empathetic stance that helps individuals feel heard and supported while they identify their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is another tool she employs to help clients spot unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and mood symptoms.

Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Susan works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy with Susan is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving clients flexibility to access care from home or other convenient settings. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or medical commitments while still engaging in meaningful, professional support from licensed professionals.
