Susan King , LMFT

Susan King is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a Master’s Degree in Clinical Psychology. She holds an LMFT license, which stands for Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and is licensed to practice in both Michigan and Indiana. Her training supports a relational, evidence-informed approach to helping people navigate difficult transitions and complex emotional challenges.

Susan offers a warm, supportive, safe, and personal environment designed to promote growth and change. She draws on both professional experience and personal insight gained from facing life stresses and living in another country and culture, which inform her sensitivity to cultural and situational transitions.

She works with people coping with trauma, depression, anxiety, parenting and communication concerns, substance use issues, and grief. She also assists clients seeking growth in relationships, greater self-understanding, presence in daily life, and support during life-phase changes. Her practice addresses issues such as intimacy struggles, self-esteem, coping with life changes, and family dynamics.

Susan emphasizes the therapeutic relationship as central to progress and tailors treatment plans to each person’s needs. She collaborates with clients to identify unhelpful patterns and to heal the hurts that life brings, and she would be honored to support someone through that personal process.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Susan King integrates Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her online practice. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns and can be helpful for intimacy concerns, abandonment worries, and attachment issues. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and nonjudgmental understanding, creating space for clients to discover their values, build self-esteem, and navigate life-purpose questions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaching practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and address coping strategies.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Susan collaborates with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and to determine which methods or combination of methods fit best. This collaborative planning helps tailor sessions to what will be most useful for the individual.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet with licensed professionals and therapists, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to maintain continuity during life transitions, fit therapy into busy schedules, and access support from where a person is located, while still working toward meaningful change.
