About Susan
Dr. Susan Lieberman is a KS Psychologist LP 1071 with 24 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, addictions, relationship and family matters, grief, parenting strain, and related difficulties. Sessions focus on practical skills and clearer communication to manage day-to-day challenges.
She uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. In session she helps people notice patterns that started in the family they grew up in, and how those patterns affect thinking, feeling, and relationships now. Work often includes learning new ways to respond to strong emotions and to rearrange unhelpful thinking.
Dr. Lieberman also addresses issues like abandonment, adoption and foster care concerns, attachment difficulties, autism and Asperger syndrome, blended family stress, caregiver strain, chronic illness and pain, codependency, and communication problems. She brings practical steps for managing sleep problems, intimacy-related worries, and career stress.
Her style centers on collaboration. She helps people set concrete goals, try small behavioral changes, and track what works. Therapy can include skills practice, role-playing conversations, and integrating clearer boundaries into daily life.

How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting swept away by them, and focuses on choosing actions that match personal values. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early family relationships shape expectations in adult relationships and aims to reshape interaction patterns and emotional responses. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down negative thinking and unhelpful behaviors into manageable parts and teaches clear strategies to change them, which can help with mood, sleep, and coping skills.Choosing the right method is part of therapy. Dr. Lieberman works collaboratively to figure out which approaches fit a person's goals and preferences. That process can include trying different techniques in session and checking what helps most over time.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove the need to travel to appointments. Therapists generally use these possibilities to focus on consistent skill practice, clearer communication exercises, and progress checks that slot into everyday life.
