Susan King , LMFT

Susan King is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship struggles. She also supports those coping with life changes, addiction concerns, parenting strain, sleep or eating problems, and issues with self-esteem and intimacy.

She uses a relational, down-to-earth style in sessions. Susan focuses on building trust first and then helps clients notice repeating patterns. Sessions are practical and conversational, with skills you can try between meetings.

Susan draws from attachment-focused work to look at how early relationships shape current reactions. She also uses cognitive behavioral tools to spot unhelpful thoughts and DBT strategies for emotional regulation. Emotionally-focused and client-centered methods guide how she listens and responds in the room.

With seven years of clinical experience, she has worked with a wide range of life stresses and trauma-related problems. Her background includes helping people through divorce and separation, family of origin concerns, codependency, and issues around abandonment and control.

Susan is licensed in Michigan as an LMFT and holds the same credential in Indiana, and she conducts sessions in English. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs.

To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions through the site. The subscription used for sessions can be canceled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current reactions and helps people change patterns that harm close connections. It can be useful for intimacy concerns, abandonment issues, and family of origin problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns, and stress management. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on naming emotions and improving emotional connection in relationships, which can help with intimacy-related issues and grief.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review your goals, needs, and preferences and recommend practices from these approaches. You and the therapist will decide collaboratively which techniques to try and adjust them as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to suit different circumstances. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when being off-camera helps someone focus. Live chat and text messaging offer shorter check-ins and flexibility during busy days. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work breaks, caregiving schedules, or when travel is difficult.
