About Susan
Susan Filosa is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and self-esteem struggles. She speaks English and Spanish and works from Colorado. Her style is warm and straightforward, aimed at making therapy feel understandable and doable for busy parents and individuals facing life changes.
Her practice centers on listening without judgment and helping clients notice what matters most to them. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person's pace and priorities. Sessions often include practical tools for coping, mindfulness exercises, and creative prompts when they fit a client's interests.
Over the last decade she has worked in hospital and residential settings, gaining experience with trauma, post-traumatic stress, and complex losses. That background informs a steady approach to safety, pacing, and building resilience. She helps people strengthen self-love, improve communication patterns, and find clearer direction during transitions.
Susan adapts her work to match a person’s goals and day-to-day life. She may draw on Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas to support connection to feelings, Narrative Therapy to reframe painful stories, and Existential Therapy to explore life purpose and meaning. Mindfulness practices are used to reduce reactivity and increase focus.
Her sessions emphasize practical skills you can use between appointments. The aim is to help people feel more present, more capable of handling stress, and more aligned with their values. To start, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist's availability.
How these approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on attentive listening and following what the client finds most important. It helps people feel heard and make changes at their own pace, which can be useful for stress, grief, and self-esteem work.Emotionally-Focused Therapy supports identifying and working with emotions in the moment to improve emotional clarity and regulation. This approach can help when trauma, relationship wounds, or intense anxiety make it hard to connect with feelings.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to goals and preferences, try methods that fit, and adjust based on what helps most. Clients and therapist decide together how much mindfulness, narrative work, or emotion-focused exercises to use.
Many people find online therapy helps fit sessions into a busy schedule by removing travel time and making it easier to attend regular appointments. Online work can support using mindfulness exercises, talking through stressful moments, and practicing new communication habits between meetings.
