Susan Resnik , LMHC

Susan Resnik is a licensed mental health counselor with 20 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship struggles. She works with women and young adults to address self-love, communication problems, parenting strain, and life purpose questions in a down-to-earth way.

Susan keeps sessions straightforward and focused. She listens without judgment and helps clients name what matters. Together they set small, practical steps to reduce overwhelm and improve daily routines.

Her approach blends talking through emotions with tool-based work. Clients learn skills to calm worry, handle difficult conversations, and rebuild after loss. Susan emphasizes clarity, personal values, and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Over two decades in Florida practice have shaped a calm, steady style. She draws on a range of methods to fit different needs, helping people move from stuck to more purposeful living. Susan pays attention to both feelings and behavior so plans feel useful in real life.

Sessions are intended to be collaborative and paced to each person. The therapist supports people as they practice new habits, try different ways of relating, and make choices that align with their goals. Her aim is to help clients feel more confident in themselves and their relationships.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions based on their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and finding direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going, which helps with depression, worry, and everyday coping. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding and expressing emotions to improve relationship patterns and emotional connection.

Choosing the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will ask about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Then she and the client decide which methods to try and adjust the plan over time in a collaborative way.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video is useful for longer sessions and visual connection, phone can fit a quick check-in or lower bandwidth situations, and messaging or live chat works for brief updates, coping tools, or when daily check-ins help progress. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and maintain consistent contact as goals evolve.
