About Susan

Dr. Susan Sult is a Florida psychologist (FL Psychologist PY3854) with 35 years of experience. She works with adults on problems such as anxiety, depression, addiction, bipolar concerns, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting stress, and family of origin patterns. Sessions are conducted in English and focus on practical ways to manage symptoms and change unhelpful patterns.

She blends cognitive-behavioral methods with emotion-focused work and solution-focused techniques to help people notice how early family roles and expectations still affect current relationships. In sessions she outlines concrete steps, teaches coping skills, and practices new ways of relating rather than relying on long explanations alone.

Dr. Sult has a long clinical history working with people facing distress from trauma, dissociation, chronic illness, and complicated life transitions like divorce and blended family challenges. She uses mindfulness skills and emotion regulation strategies drawn from Dialectical Behavior Therapy when intense feelings get in the way of everyday functioning.

Her approach treats therapy as a collaborative process. She helps clients identify specific goals, explains the techniques she will use, and checks progress along the way. The emphasis is on straight language, clear techniques, and making changes that fit the client's life.

Outside clinical work she enjoys horseback riding, quilting, and cooking. To begin the intake process, the site asks readers to use the online matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the provided booking flow.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Dr. Sult commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy in her clinical work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. EFT helps people track emotional responses in relationships and practice different ways of expressing needs and responding to closeness.

She also uses skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy when intense emotions or impulsive behaviors are a concern. DBT skills include emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness that can be practiced between sessions and reviewed together.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client decide together which methods fit the client's goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions include clear rationales for techniques, practice of skills in-session, and regular reviews of progress to see what is helping.

The site asks clients to confirm current session options before booking, since formats are not detailed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow short check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time.
