About Susan

Susan Mullen is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Colorado with 18 years of clinical experience. She centers sessions on the person in front of her, listening carefully and helping people find practical ways to manage stress and anxiety.

She helps people dealing with parenting strain, low self-esteem, grief, and major life changes. Sessions often focus on clear, manageable steps so clients can notice small improvements and build confidence over time.

Susan also supports people facing caregiver burnout, communication problems, and questions about life purpose or career direction. Her work includes attention to autism spectrum conditions and intellectual disability when those concerns are part of a person’s story.

Her style is collaborative and straightforward. She combines a client-centered stance with techniques from cognitive behavioral and solution-focused approaches to help clients set goals and try practical strategies between sessions.

People who choose her can expect a calm, respectful space to talk through tough moments and plan realistic next steps. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step are used so sessions align with client needs and availability.

How Susan's approaches work in online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person’s perspective and building a trusting connection. In practice that means the therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps clients identify their own solutions to problems such as anxiety, parenting strain, or grief.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together. Susan may use CBT techniques to help people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and practice alternative responses that reduce stress and improve mood.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will work with each client to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and daily life. That might mean mixing client-centered listening with practical CBT tools and short solution-focused steps to test between sessions.

If you plan to try online therapy, confirm which session formats the therapist currently offers before booking. Online options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and let people check in during work breaks or quieter moments. Discuss format and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire so sessions match your needs.
