Susan King

Susan King is an LMFT based in Michigan who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, and low self-esteem. She also supports those dealing with trauma, addiction concerns, sleep or eating struggles, parenting stress, and life transitions. Her tone is warm and direct, and she aims to make starting therapy straightforward for worried parents and adults alike.

Susan brings seven years of clinical experience as a licensed marriage and family therapist. She uses a relational approach and emphasizes the connection between therapist and client as the foundation for change. Sessions focus on understanding patterns, improving communication, and building practical skills for daily life.

Her work draws on several evidence-based approaches, including attachment-focused methods, client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior ideas, and emotionally focused work. She adapts strategies to the person in front of her rather than following a single method rigidly.

Susan values a collaborative process. She helps people name patterns like codependency, abandonment fears, or control issues, and then practices new ways of relating and coping. Therapy can include skill-building for emotion regulation, clearer communication, and steps toward healthier boundaries.

She also addresses longer-term concerns such as midlife questions, career shifts, and family of origin wounds. Prospective clients are invited to select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.

Approaches that guide online work and fit daily life

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early bonds shape current relationships. It helps people understand patterns of closeness, abandonment fears, and trust so they can try more secure ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes being heard without judgment; the therapist follows the client's lead and supports self-discovery and personal growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful habits.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit. This is a collaborative process where adjustments are made as understanding deepens and needs change.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as arranging appointments around school drop-offs, work breaks, or caregiving. It can also reduce travel time and help continue regular work during transitions. Because session formats were not specified in the biography, confirm current online and in-person options before booking so you know what will work best for your schedule.
