She is Dr. Susan Lieberman, a licensed psychologist with more than 24 years of clinical experience in Kansas. Her work focuses on everyday struggles like anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns.

She draws on cognitive behavioral strategies to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try small behavior changes. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is part of her toolkit for learning to live with difficult feelings while moving toward important goals. Attachment-based ideas inform how she talks about closeness, trust, and repeating old patterns in relationships.

Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Clients learn skills for managing stress, improving sleep, coping with grief, and handling strong emotions such as anger. She also supports people dealing with ADHD, bipolar mood changes, addictions, and compassion fatigue.

Dr. Lieberman has particular experience with issues connected to parenting, adoption and foster care, caregiver strain, chronic illness, and cancer-related stress. She helps people sort through communication problems, codependency, and attachment wounds that affect intimacy and relationships.

Her approach is collaborative and down-to-earth. She focuses on clear steps and skills you can use between sessions, and she adjusts methods to fit each person’s goals and life situation.

Practical Approaches for Online Sessions

Dr. Lieberman uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try practical behavior changes that reduce anxiety and low mood. CBT is focused on clear steps you can practice between sessions and is useful for sleep issues, stress, and many mood problems.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to teach ways of accepting difficult feelings while moving toward valued goals. ACT is often helpful for people wrestling with chronic stress, shame, or ongoing health challenges who want to focus on what matters most. Attachment-based ideas guide conversations about patterns in relationships and closeness, helping people recognize repeated dynamics and try new ways of connecting.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and then try methods that fit those needs. If something doesn’t feel helpful, adjustments are made so work stays practical and relevant.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and teaching new skills. Phone sessions can fit a lunch break or take less bandwidth. Live chat and texting offer brief check-ins or ongoing support between appointments, which can make therapy easier to fit into a busy life.
