About Susan

Susan Stever is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who focuses on practical support for day-to-day struggles. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, and relationship or intimacy concerns. Her tone is warm and direct, aimed at helping someone take small, manageable steps forward.

Susan brings five years of clinical experience in Utah. She has worked with people affected by trauma and abuse and has experience supporting individuals involved with the justice system.

Background and approach

That background informs her focus on change during life transitions and on reshaping unhelpful habits. Sessions are conversational and interactive. She uses approaches drawn from Narrative Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and client-centered work.

That means clients talk through stories they tell about themselves, learn specific skills to handle emotions, and practice choices that match their values. Susan aims to build an atmosphere of respect and sensitivity. She avoids stigmatizing labels and tailors the pace and plan to each person.

She also offers coaching-style attention for people wanting clearer goals around career or daily functioning. For someone worried about starting therapy, Susan focuses on concrete steps and steady progress. She helps clients identify patterns that hold them back and then tests new ways of responding.

The goal is more choice and more balance in everyday life.

Online session options

Online approaches that focus on change and values

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It emphasizes values-based action so people can make choices that matter despite hard emotions. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and finds new, more helpful ways to understand past events and current struggles. That can reduce shame and open options for different behaviors. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing strong emotions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best. Together they set goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan if something is not helping.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper processing. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat or text-based messaging offers shorter check-ins and convenient ways to track progress between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep consistent momentum toward change.
