She works with people facing addictions, stress and anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and family of origin issues. Sessions are offered in English and Danish, and she accepts international clients.
Her approach is practical and person-centered. She uses client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral ideas and narrative work. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are also part of her toolbox. In sessions she listens, reflects what matters to the client, and looks for small changes that can ease daily life.
Sus draws on long experience in mental health and substance use settings, including outpatient, residential, and inpatient care. She has many years of personal recovery and parenting experience, and she names those experiences as part of how she understands addiction and family concerns. This background informs how she talks about coping strategies and relationship patterns.
In practice she may use tools like genograms to map family patterns and narrative techniques to rethink repeated roles. Cognitive-behavioral strategies are used to identify unhelpful thinking and try practical alternatives. Motivational interviewing helps when change feels uncertain or stuck.
People often come for help with childhood patterns that keep repeating in adult life. Sessions focus on clearer thinking, managing strong emotions, and making choices that align with current goals. To begin, the site matching steps are used to set up an initial session.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. It helps people clarify goals and feel understood while deciding what to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical ways to notice thoughts and try different responses. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and managing strong emotions. Mindfulness Therapy offers simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve calm in daily life.Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to test methods and adjust based on needs and preferences. Sessions begin with a practical conversation about goals and then try approaches that fit those goals.
