About Susana
Susana (Susie) Hernandez is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. She meets adults and teens with everyday struggles and aims to build a sense of belonging and personal identity. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use in their daily lives.
She centers the counseling relationship first, believing trust opens the way to deeper work. That begins with listening to each person’s story and noticing how their past shapes current choices.
Background and approach
Susie brings together narrative ideas with acceptance-based and cognitive tools to help people shift unhelpful patterns. In sessions she uses client-centered principles to follow the person’s priorities. She also draws from Attachment-Based Therapy to look at relationship patterns and how they affect self-worth.
This mix supports people working on relationships, parenting stress, intimacy concerns, and the fallout from trauma or loss. Susie also supports people dealing with addictions, grief, career questions, and caregiving strain. She works with issues such as body image, codependency, communication problems, and coping after disaster or separation.
Practical coping skills and values-based choices are woven into each plan. Outside of clinical work she spends time with family at the park, exercises at the gym, and enjoys cooking. She lives and practices in Texas and provides services in English to a diverse set of clients.

Online session options
How this therapist uses narrative and acceptance work online
Susie draws from Narrative Therapy to help people reframe their life stories and notice how labels or past events shape daily choices. Narrative work can be helpful for issues like self-esteem, relationship patterns, and grief because it highlights alternative ways to tell your story.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on identifying values and taking small committed steps toward them. ACT can support people managing anxiety, depression, addictions, and coping with life changes by teaching practical acceptance and action techniques.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Susie will listen to your goals, try different methods, and adjust plans based on what helps you feel steadier and more in control. She works at the pace you prefer and checks in on technique and goals as therapy progresses.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer therapy work or when visual connection matters. Phone sessions work well for lower bandwidth or when a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat or text messaging can be used for brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or when written reflection fits your routine. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different life rhythms.
