Susan Huerta, LMHC

Susan Huerta is a Florida licensed mental health counselor with 15 years of clinical experience. She helps people navigate anxiety, depression, grief, and addiction. Her work centers on practical steps that reduce overwhelm and make daily life feel more manageable.

Susan takes a straightforward, respectful approach in sessions. She listens first, then helps clients set small, clear goals. Conversations focus on building coping skills, improving communication, and strengthening self-worth so people can move through difficult transitions.

Her background includes long experience addressing workplace stress, caregiver strain, and the emotional toll of chronic illness. That experience informs how she helps people manage panic, trauma recovery, and relationship challenges with steady, realistic strategies.

Susan uses techniques from acceptance and commitment work, cognitive behavior ideas, dialectical behavior methods, EMDR, and client-centered therapy. She blends these tools to match a person’s needs instead of using a single method for everyone.

Sessions are practical and collaborative. Expect clear plans, skill-building exercises, and focused conversations about what’s getting in the way now. Many people come away with a better sense of direction and tools they can use between sessions.

How Susan’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Susan commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify their values and take small steps toward them while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ideas that look at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and teach practical skills to change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then recommend techniques or combinations that fit those needs. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed plan.

If you prefer online sessions, confirm the exact session formats available before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people practice skills in their everyday settings and bring real-life situations into discussion during sessions.
