Susan King, LMFT

Susan King is a licensed marriage and family therapist with a Master’s Degree in Clinical Psychology who brings both professional training and personal insight to her work. She offers a warm, supportive therapeutic space where people can explore difficult transitions, long-standing patterns, and the stresses that affect everyday life. Susan has seven years of clinical experience and has worked with issues including trauma, depression, anxiety, parenting challenges, communication problems, chemical abuse, grief, and relationship concerns. Her practice also addresses self-esteem, coping with life changes, addictions, family and attachment issues, intimacy-related concerns, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger, career transitions, and mood disorders such as bipolar disorder.

Susan’s approach is relational and individualized - she emphasizes the therapeutic relationship as a foundation for change and collaborates with clients to develop treatment plans tailored to each person’s needs and goals. She draws on attachment-focused and evidence-informed methods to help clients identify unhelpful patterns, heal from hurt, and build new ways of relating to themselves and others. Licensed to practice as an LMFT in Michigan and Indiana, Susan combines clinical expertise with lived experience of life stressors and cultural transition to support clients through growth and renewed well-being.

Those seeking help with relationship growth, increased self-awareness, staying present, or navigating life’s transitions can expect compassionate, focused care aimed at practical change and deeper understanding. Susan welcomes the opportunity to support clients through this personal work.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early bonds shape current relationships and emotional responses. This approach helps clients explore patterns of connection and separation, making it useful for issues like attachment wounds, abandonment concerns, codependency, and intimacy-related difficulties.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes respect for the client’s perspective and supports growth through empathy, active listening, and nonjudgmental presence. It is well suited for people seeking greater self-understanding, self-esteem work, and support during life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps individuals identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and learn practical strategies to shift them. CBT can be effective for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and problem-solving around everyday challenges.

Choosing the right approach 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 therapy progresses.

Online therapy in Susan’s practice is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility and access from home or other convenient locations. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, to maintain continuity during life changes, and to receive consistent support from licensed professionals without sacrificing quality of care.
