Susana (Susie) Hernandez, LPC

Susana (Susie) Hernandez supports teens and adults from diverse backgrounds as they work toward fuller lives through healthier relationships with family and community. She centers the therapeutic relationship as the starting point for change, believing that trust between client and counselor opens the door to deeper healing and personal growth.

Grounded in the idea that a sense of belonging is essential to emotional well-being, she helps clients explore and strengthen their sense of identity so they can experience greater acceptance, integration, and wholeness. As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), she brings professional training and authorization to provide mental health counseling while prioritizing a warm, collaborative connection with each person she works with.

Susana sees many people who are navigating anxiety, depression, major life transitions, and struggles with addiction, and she partners with families to improve communication and connection. When appropriate, she incorporates a client’s faith and spirituality into the therapeutic work to support recovery and resilience. Outside of sessions, Susana enjoys spending time with family at local parks or the gym and experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen.

Online Approaches Emphasizing Belonging and Acceptance

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites clients to clarify what matters most to them and to take small, values-driven steps even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It is often helpful for people coping with anxiety, depression, or life transitions who want practical tools for moving toward a meaningful life.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape patterns of connection, trust, and emotional safety. This approach can support those working through relationship challenges, attachment concerns, and family dynamics by strengthening interpersonal awareness and repair.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Susana (Susie) Hernandez will work with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds. Clients take an active role in choosing what feels most useful.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - so clients can access care that fits their schedule and lifestyle. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of support during busy periods, while allowing therapists and licensed professionals to tailor session formats to individual needs.
