Susan Morlock, LPC, LCPC

Susan Morlock is a licensed mental health therapist and practice owner who specializes in performance-based anxiety, general anxiety, obsessive-compulsive patterns, and depression. Her clinical work focuses on challenges such as public speaking, test-taking, workplace performance, and competitive environments, where she blends evidence-based psychotherapy with nervous-system-informed care to address both thinking patterns and bodily responses to stress.

Before focusing full time on clinical work, she spent more than 20 years in senior-level business and organizational roles. That background gives her a practical understanding of workplace dynamics, leadership stress, and the pressures that accompany high achievement, and it informs her approach when supporting professionals who appear successful externally but feel anxious, burned out, or uncertain internally.

Susan is licensed to practice in Illinois, Colorado, and Vermont and offers remote psychotherapy using EMDR, ACT, I-CBT, and mind-body approaches. She holds LPC and LCPC credentials - Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor - indicating state licensure to provide counseling services. Her work aims to help clients build clarity, confidence, and emotional resilience so they can perform under pressure with greater ease and sustain healthier patterns over time.

Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Care

EMDR is a trauma-focused method that helps process distressing memories and reduce the intensity of emotional reactions, often used for post-traumatic stress and lingering traumatic responses. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches skills for accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and committed actions, which can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and performance-related worry. Integrated Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT) combines cognitive and behavioral strategies to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and build practical coping skills, commonly used for OCD, panic, phobias, and mood disorders.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Susan works collaboratively with each person to determine which techniques best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions and adjusts methods over time so the work remains practical and aligned with what the client wants to achieve.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people with busy schedules, those who travel for work, or those living in areas with fewer local options. These formats make it easier to access licensed professionals and to continue consistent care while balancing everyday responsibilities.
