About Susan
Susan King is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Michigan who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship struggles, and life transitions. She works with concerns ranging from depression and bipolar symptoms to eating, sleeping, and addiction issues. Susan offers a calm, supportive presence for people who feel stuck or overwhelmed.
She emphasizes the therapeutic relationship and takes a relational, client-centered approach. That means sessions focus on what matters to the person in front of her and move at a pace they can manage. She uses practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and skills-based strategies drawn from dialectical behavior therapy when those techniques fit a client's goals.
Susan also draws on attachment-based ideas to help people understand patterns in close relationships and to work through wounds from the past. Emotionally-focused work is part of her toolkit when helping people identify and express feelings more clearly. Her style is warm and straightforward, with attention to real-life change rather than abstract theory.
She holds a Master’s degree in clinical psychology and practices as an LMFT in Michigan and Indiana. Susan brings seven years of professional experience and personal insight from navigating difficult transitions and cultural change. Her aim is to tailor therapy to each person's needs and to help them notice and shift unhelpful patterns.
Start by thinking about a small, concrete goal for your first session. Susan collaborates on a plan and checks in often so therapy stays relevant to daily life.
How relational approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and meeting each person where they are. Sessions emphasize the client's perspective and aim to create a supportive space for change. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and helps people understand how past bonds affect current connections and reactions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to change their mood and routines. It is practical and problem-focused, often using small experiments or homework between sessions. These approaches can be combined depending on what a person wants to work on, and Susan will collaborate to find the best fit based on needs, goals, and preferences.
Confirm current session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Many people find online therapy makes scheduling easier and helps fit sessions into work, family, and daily life. Online sessions can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it simpler to keep continuity during life transitions. The therapist and client will discuss what will work best for pacing, home routines, and practical needs during the intake and planning conversation.
