Susan Frey , LPC

Susan Frey is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania with 20 years of experience supporting adults through a wide range of life challenges. She holds a master’s degree in counseling psychology from Seton Hall University and a Bachelor of Science from York College of Pennsylvania. Her path to counseling followed a sudden disruption in her own life, a change that shaped her commitment to helping others navigate meaningful transitions.

Susan brings clinical experience treating addictions, anxiety, depression, stress, grief, bipolar disorder, anger, and related concerns. She often uses cognitive behavioral therapy - a practical, skills-based approach that helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors - and may incorporate short-term solution-focused therapy or acceptance and commitment therapy depending on each person’s situation. Her practice also addresses issues such as relationship and communication problems, commitment and control issues, divorce and separation, process and substance addictions, eating and sex addictions, panic attacks, and challenges associated with aging and visual impairment.

Throughout her work Susan emphasizes goal-oriented care that aligns with each person’s values and priorities. She collaborates with clients to define clear objectives and develop concrete strategies to increase satisfaction, improve coping, and support lasting change. As a licensed clinician, she combines clinical training with real-world experience to help clients move toward more fulfilling lives.

Approaches and Online Care with Susan Frey

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people recognize patterns of thinking that contribute to stress, anxiety, and mood challenges, then builds practical skills to change those patterns and improve daily functioning. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and developing psychological flexibility - it supports coping with difficult thoughts and feelings while taking actions that matter. Solution-Focused Therapy is brief and future-oriented, concentrating on strengths and small, concrete steps that move a person toward their goals.

Susan approaches treatment collaboratively, working with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions to the individual, combining approaches when helpful and adjusting the plan over time so the therapeutic work stays aligned with changing priorities.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers practical flexibility for busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, mobility limitations, or geographic distance. These options make it possible to maintain regular contact with a licensed professional and to continue progressing between sessions in ways that fit each person’s life and pace.
