About Susan

Susan Hull is a licensed independent social worker with 17 years of experience helping adults manage stress, anxiety, depression, and difficult life changes. She practices with a calm, compassionate style and focuses on understandable steps clients can use day to day. Susan works with people facing trauma, grief, self-esteem struggles, and issues related to addiction and narcissism. Her approach centers on building stronger self-understanding and more stable relationships. She uses attachment-focused work to look at patterns formed in relationships. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Sessions are practical and relational. Susan listens closely, helps name what feels stuck, and introduces tools to reduce symptoms and improve coping. She offers strategies for managing panic, mood shifts, and compassion fatigue that people can try between sessions. Her background includes work with caregivers, first responders, veterans, and people dealing with serious illness or end-of-life concerns. Susan also supports people navigating codependency, communication problems, and the long shadow of abandonment or attachment wounds. Susan aims to partner with clients rather than direct them. She helps set goals together and adjusts the plan as needs change. People who want clear steps, steady support, and an emphasis on practical skills often find this way of working helpful.

How her approaches translate to online care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns shape current connections. It helps people recognize relational triggers and build more stable ways of relating to others. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going and teaches practical strategies to shift them. Mindfulness Therapy brings simple attention and breathing practices into daily life to reduce reactivity and increase emotional balance.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals and try methods that match those goals. If an approach needs adjusting, she will change the plan so work stays relevant and helpful.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to use in-session tools like guided breathing, thought-records, and real-time worksheets while discussing progress and next steps.
