Susan Jentoft

Susan Jentoft is a licensed professional counselor with 25 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people through depression, anxiety, relationship strain, and major life changes. Her work also includes support for grief, addiction concerns, trauma and abuse, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.

Susan uses straightforward, practical methods. She listens first, then helps clients identify small steps they can try between sessions. Sessions often center on improving communication, managing stress, and building routines that support sleep and eating habits.

Her approach blends goal-focused and person-centered work. This means she pairs skills-based tools with time for reflection. Clients who want to understand patterns, change difficult habits, or manage mood shifts may find this blend useful.

Susan also pays attention to life-stage needs and long-term transitions. She offers support for career shifts, parenting pressures, aging and geriatric concerns, and coping after disasters. Addictions, codependency, and body-image struggles are among other areas she addresses.

People come to her for help with everyday problems and deeper emotional wounds. She aims to help people build practical coping skills while honoring their individual values and goals.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when things feel difficult. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and follows the client's lead, creating space to talk through feelings and make personal choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to change patterns that cause distress.

Finding the right approach is often a process. Susan will work together with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. That collaborative process can include trying different techniques and checking in about what helps most.

Confirm the specific online session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, shorten commute time, and allow quicker check-ins between appointments. It can also make sessions simpler to schedule around work or caregiving obligations and let people use tools like worksheets and guided exercises during sessions.
