About Susan
Susan King is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) licensed in Michigan and Indiana with seven years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, self-esteem, and family of origin issues among other challenges. She works with adults who are dealing with life changes, addictive patterns, or ongoing mood concerns such as depression and bipolar disorder.
Susan uses everyday conversation and focused skill work in sessions. She pays attention to how early family roles and attachment patterns show up now. That can include codependency, communication problems, control issues, or feelings of abandonment. Sessions often include discussion, practical strategies, and exercises to manage strong emotions and improve relationships.
Her approach draws from attachment-based ideas, client-centered practice, cognitive behavioral techniques, DBT skills, and emotionally focused work. That mix lets her balance exploring relationship patterns with concrete behavior change and emotion regulation tools. She helps people notice repeating patterns and try different ways of responding.
Susan’s background includes formal graduate training in clinical psychology and years working with adults through transitions and stress. She has personal experience with major life changes and living in another culture, which she says informs her perspective on adjustment and identity.
To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session. Susan’s practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and sessions vary in cost by location. Sessions are offered in English and she does not accept international clients at this time.
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It focuses on understanding emotional bonds and how they affect trust, closeness, and conflict in adult relationships. This can help when family roles from childhood repeat in your life now.Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the client’s experience in the room. The therapist listens without directing and helps clients find their own answers, which can be useful for people sorting out identity, life purpose, or midlife changes.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Sessions often include practical exercises and homework to change unhelpful thinking and build new habits, which helps with anxiety, depression, and coping skills.
Choosing an approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Over the first sessions she adjusts methods based on how a person responds and what seems to help in day-to-day life.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use video or audio depending on bandwidth or comfort. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to remote sessions so progress continues between meetings.
