She has extensive experience working in orphanages, residential treatment centers, and addiction treatment settings, and has counseled hundreds of children and families in elementary and middle school environments as well as in private practice.

Susan approaches therapy as a collaborative journey, supporting clients as they take steps toward clearer values, stronger relationships, and greater well-being.

Therapeutic approaches and flexible online care

Susan Mount often draws on Attachment-Based Therapy in her work, which looks at how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and helps people build safer, more secure bonds in their lives. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, a person-focused approach that emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and the client’s own goals to promote self-discovery and growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another common approach she employs - it focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and related concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Susan collaborates with each client to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time so therapy remains responsive and practical. The client and therapist work together to identify priorities and try strategies that feel most useful.

Online therapy with Susan offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule care around work, family, and other responsibilities, and allow clients to access consistent support from home or while traveling. Licensed professionals can adapt these formats to provide meaningful, goal-oriented work that fits each person’s life.
