About Susanne
Susanne Jenemann is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 20 years of experience based in New York. She describes herself as an indigenous, multiracial woman who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, addiction, grief, and issues around self-esteem and motivation.
She believes people know their own stories and brings a respectful, listening-oriented approach to sessions. She aims to help clients tap into their strengths and take steady steps toward changes they want. The first session is often about understanding immediate concerns and deciding what matters most to the client.
In ongoing work she combines relationship-focused methods and trauma-informed techniques. Sessions may look at how early family dynamics still affect current choices. She uses narrative ideas to help people reframe painful events and client-centered practices to follow the client’s pace and priorities.
Susanne also draws on the Gottman Method when relationship patterns are part of the concern, and on Internal Family Systems when clients want to understand different parts of themselves. These approaches are offered alongside practical coping strategies for stress, anger, parenting strain, and compassion fatigue.
Her style is steady and collaborative. She supports clients who are exploring identity, dealing with discrimination, or working through grief and loss. People who want a therapist who listens first and helps them shape their own goals may find her approach helpful.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's concerns and priorities. The therapist follows the client's pace, offers reflective listening, and supports clients as they decide what to work on. This approach is often used for worries about anxiety, self-esteem, and life transitions.The Gottman Method focuses on patterns in close relationships and practical skills for clearer communication. It helps people learn new ways to talk about conflict, rebuild trust, and handle recurring disagreements.
Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from painful stories and rewrite how they view difficult events. It can be useful for grief, shame, multicultural issues, and processing past trauma.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, needs, and preferences and then recommend which methods to emphasize. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists can also tailor pacing and homework to fit everyday routines, helping people apply new skills between sessions.
