Susan Filosa , LPC

Susan Filosa is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and grief. She also supports those struggling with self-esteem, life changes, and issues often faced by women. Susan works in English and Spanish and brings a calm, practical style to each session.

Susan favors a person-centered way of working that treats each client as the expert on their own life. Sessions focus on building resilience and finding useful tools for day-to-day coping. She uses creativity and mindfulness techniques when they fit a person's needs and preferences.

Over the past ten years she has worked in a range of settings including hospitals and residential programs. That experience informs her approach to complex problems like post-traumatic stress, abuse, and intense life transitions. She aims to match therapeutic methods to what a person needs right now rather than following a single script.

In sessions Susan helps people tell their stories in clearer ways and notice patterns that get in the way. She offers practical strategies for communication, managing loneliness, and rebuilding self-worth after loss or betrayal. Work with her can include short exercises, focused conversations, and mindfulness practices.

Susan emphasizes steady progress over quick fixes. She encourages small, manageable steps that connect daily choices to longer-term goals. People seeking support will find straightforward guidance and space to try new ways of coping and relating to themselves and others.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience without judgment. It helps people feel heard, clarify values, and make choices that fit their life. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on identifying and working with strong emotions to shift unhelpful patterns in relationships with oneself and others. This approach can help people respond differently to fear, shame, or grief. Existential Therapy looks at questions of meaning, freedom, and life purpose and supports people facing big transitions or feelings of emptiness.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That might mean combining listening-based care, emotion-focused work, and existential reflection across sessions to find what helps most.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people have face-to-face conversations when schedules or distance make in-person meetings hard. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a good option when a camera isn't convenient. Chat and messaging support shorter check-ins, written reflection, and ongoing contact between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
