Susan Jordan-Kertzner , LPC

Susan Jordan-Kertzner is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and career concerns. She also works with those facing parenting challenges, ADHD, grief, trauma, and issues common to LGBT clients. Her approach is warm and affirming, and she focuses on practical steps people can use right away.

Susan favors straightforward conversation and active collaboration. She listens first, then helps people set realistic goals and small steps toward change. Sessions blend talk, skill-building, and mindfulness practices aimed at improving daily functioning and mood.

With 19 years of experience, she brings a mix of clinical methods to each person’s situation. She uses cognitive-behavioral tools to shift unhelpful thought patterns and acceptance-based skills to handle difficult feelings. Attachment-focused work helps when relationship patterns or early wounds impact current life.

Susan also draws on emotion regulation strategies from dialectical behavior therapy for intense emotions and coaching techniques for career direction and life purpose. Her style is interactive and practical, emphasizing what someone can try between sessions.

She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. Therapy can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Costs vary with location and are provided through a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How Susan’s Approaches Work Online

Susan commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Attachment-Based Therapy in her online work. ACT teaches skills to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and helps people commit to values-based actions when life feels overwhelming. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they shape reactions now, helping people form healthier ways of relating.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Susan will talk with each person about their goals, symptoms, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made or needs change.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video allows face-to-face work and teaching of skills, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat fits quick check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflections between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and life transitions.
