About Susan

Susan Mullen, LPC, draws on 18 years of clinical experience to help people facing stress, anxiety, parenting strain, and low self-esteem. She speaks plainly and works alongside clients to find workable steps forward. Her approach is collaborative and aimed at practical change rather than jargon.

She focuses on life transitions and communication problems that make daily living harder. Parents and caregivers often seek her out when routines, roles, or expectations feel overwhelming. She also supports people managing grief, career uncertainty, and compassion fatigue.

Susan works with people affected by neurodevelopmental differences, including autism spectrum conditions and intellectual disability, and she addresses related caregiver stress. Her work blends attention to everyday needs with long-term goals so progress feels useful and realistic.

Her style mixes client-centered listening with hands-on techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral and solution-focused methods. Sessions emphasize small experiments, clearer communication, and concrete coping tools that can be tried between meetings.

People describe her approach as steady and practical. She helps clients clarify values and purpose when life feels stalled. Susan is based in Colorado and provides care in English. If you are looking for conversational, outcomes-minded support, she offers an approach that aims to be both caring and effective.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and understanding the person's perspective. In this approach the therapist follows the client's lead, reflects concerns back, and helps people name what matters to them. It is useful for building trust and clarifying values.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. It is practical for anxiety, stress, and low mood because it breaks problems into clear steps and experiments to try between sessions.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and daily life. That conversation can happen in the first few meetings and be adjusted over time.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since the biography does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, shorten check-ins when time is limited, avoid travel, and offer continuity during life changes. Talk with the therapist when you schedule to pick a format and cadence that match your routine and needs.
