Susan Clark , LMFT

Susan Clark is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in California. She brings nine years of clinical experience helping people cope with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, and attention concerns such as ADHD. She aims to make sessions approachable and straightforward so people feel comfortable talking about hard things.

Susan often works with young children, adolescents, and young adults who are navigating trauma, victimization, recovery from sex trafficking, or common childhood behavior challenges. She focuses on early intervention and practical skills that can reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Her style is warm and down-to-earth, and she tries to make therapy feel contained and even occasionally approachable for younger clients.

She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that are matched to each person's needs. That means sessions may include skills practice, problem-solving, and concrete strategies to manage symptoms and build confidence. The aim is to foster resilience and gradual change rather than quick fixes.

Susan pays attention to concentration, motivation, memory, and coping skills when those areas are affected. She also helps people process loss and grief in ways that fit their pace. Her work is focused on practical steps people can try between sessions.

People who contact Susan can expect clear, simple communication about goals and approaches. She encourages small, steady progress and collaborates with clients to find what works best for them.

Evidence-based care delivered remotely

Many clients benefit from practical, evidence-based techniques that teach skills and reduce symptoms. For example, skills-based behavioral work focuses on concrete actions and routines that reduce anxiety and improve focus, which can help with stress, ADHD-related concentration issues, and daily functioning. Trauma-informed care involves careful pacing, grounding strategies, and supported processing to help people feel safer when they talk about difficult events.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful. That collaborative way of working makes it easier to tailor care for young children, adolescents, or young adults who need different kinds of supports.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video allows face-to-face interaction and visual cues. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins and use less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging are useful for ongoing check-ins, brief skill practice, or when someone prefers typed communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into school, work, or family routines and to stay consistent with care.
