Susan Jordan-Kertzner, LPC

Susan Jordan-Kertzner is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and executive coach practicing in Colorado, bringing 19 years of clinical and coaching experience to her work. She provides support across a wide range of concerns including stress and anxiety, depression, relationship and family issues, career difficulties, parenting challenges, ADHD, self-esteem, life purpose, trauma and abuse, grief, and challenges related to the LGBT community and veteran and armed forces issues.

Known for an affirming and warm style, she engages clients in a highly interactive process while holding each person with respect and care. As both a psychotherapist and an executive coach, she blends therapeutic insight with practical, goal-oriented planning to help clients move toward greater empowerment and life satisfaction.

Her counseling integrates a variety of theoretical influences - including a Jungian orientation alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness practices, neuroscience-informed perspectives, psychodynamic ideas, and Somatic Experiencing for trauma-related work. Susan collaborates with clients to design individualized growth and development plans that address immediate coping needs and longer-term personal goals.

Susan recognizes the courage it takes to seek support and approaches each engagement as a partnership, offering guidance and tools aimed at fostering resilience, clearer communication, and meaningful change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Susan often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps people clarify their values and build psychological flexibility so they can take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise. She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore relationship patterns that developed early in life and to support healthier connection and emotional regulation in current relationships. In addition, Susan incorporates Client-Centered Therapy principles, offering a nonjudgmental, empathic therapeutic stance that helps clients feel heard and supported while they explore change.

Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Susan works with clients to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds so therapy remains practical and relevant.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals without needing to travel, allowing clients to integrate therapeutic work into busy or geographically dispersed lives.
