Her specialties span a broad range of concerns - including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, compassion fatigue, ADHD, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, eating and food-related concerns, parenting challenges, bipolar disorder, depression, and coping with life changes - as well as related areas such as attachment issues, blended family dynamics, codependency, dissociation, and post-traumatic stress.

Her therapeutic approach blends cognitive-behavioral techniques with solution-focused, expressive, humanistic, and motivational interviewing methods to meet each person where they are. As an LPC Susan has met Colorado state requirements for education, supervised experience, and licensure to practice counseling. She views therapy as a courageous step toward greater understanding and well-being and aims to offer dependable, compassionate support as clients explore what matters most to them and work toward more fulfilling lives.

Attachment, CBT, and Client-Centered Care Online

Susan Mount uses several evidence-informed approaches to guide online work. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of connection and helps people understand how early relationships influence current bonds and coping - this approach can be especially useful for attachment issues, intimacy concerns, and family dynamics. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps individuals identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical tools for anxiety, depression, stress, and mood regulation. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the therapeutic relationship itself, offering a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where clients are treated with empathy and encouraged to explore their values and strengths.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Susan collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds. The work is a partnership aimed at finding what helps most.

Online sessions make these approaches more accessible. Through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, clients gain flexibility to fit therapy into busy lives, maintain continuity of care across locations, and engage in regular follow-up between synchronous meetings. These options allow licensed professionals like Susan to offer consistent, tailored support without requiring in-person visits.
