Susan Filosa

Susan Filosa is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, and self-esteem concerns. She also supports clients dealing with life changes, feelings of abandonment, social anxiety, and questions about life purpose, and she lists Narcissism among her focus areas. Susan speaks English and Spanish and practices from Colorado.

Susan draws on ten years of clinical experience. She blends client-centered conversation with mindfulness, narrative techniques, and emotionally-focused work. Sessions are practical and down-to-earth. Clients learn tools to handle overwhelming moments and to steady their thinking during stressful times.

Her style emphasizes strength and creativity. She believes people are the experts on their own story and helps them build on existing strengths. Sessions often include simple mindfulness exercises and reflective storytelling to clarify values and next steps.

Susan also uses existential ideas to help people examine meaning and direction in life. That work looks at choices, responsibilities, and what matters most. It can be useful for people facing big transitions or feeling stuck.

Her approach includes trauma-focused methods when past harm affects daily life. The focus is on practical coping strategies, paced exploration of difficult memories, and rebuilding a sense of safety. Susan aims to leave people with skills they can use outside of sessions.

Therapeutic approaches that translate to online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding someone without judgment. It helps people feel heard and supported while they sort through problems and set goals. Emotionally-focused therapy (EFT) helps people identify and work with strong emotions so they can respond differently to painful feelings and improve emotional regulation. Existential therapy looks at meaning, choice, and values to help someone facing major life questions or transitions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they will try things, notice what helps, and adjust the plan to fit the person’s needs and pace.

Please confirm current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Many people find online work makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, to join from a location with fewer distractions, or to choose shorter check-ins when time is tight. Online conversations can support the same kinds of emotional work and skill practice as in-person sessions, with a focus on practical tools clients can use between meetings.
