About Susan

Dr. Susan Sult greets people with a straightforward, calm approach to hard problems. She is a Florida psychologist with 35 years of experience and helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar concerns, addictions, and relationship struggles. She also supports people dealing with parenting strain, sleep and eating difficulties, ADHD, and intimacy-related issues.

She keeps sessions practical and collaborative. She listens for what matters most and then helps identify small, clear steps people can try. Her work blends cognitive-behavioral ideas with solution-focused strategies and emotionally centered techniques to address both thoughts and feelings.

Dr. Sult has long experience working with trauma, dissociation, grief, and chronic illness. She also takes on concerns tied to abandonment, attachment, body image, codependency, and blended family dynamics. Her practice includes help for people working through divorce, commitment questions, or sexual concerns such as kink and alternative sexual culture.

Her style is direct but respectful. She explains therapeutic techniques and how they apply to a person’s goals. She treats therapy as a partnership and offers clear options rather than vague advice.

Outside clinical work she enjoys horseback riding, quilting, cooking, and spending time with family and friends. Her office is in Florida and sessions are conducted in English.

How her approaches shape online therapy

Dr. Sult commonly draws on cognitive-behavioral therapy and emotionally-focused approaches, and she also uses solution-focused techniques. Cognitive-behavioral work looks at thinking patterns and behavior, and helps people try small experiments to reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms. Emotionally-focused work helps name and track feelings in relationships and personal struggles so people can respond differently instead of reacting on habit. Solution-focused methods focus conversations on specific goals and practical steps that can be tried between sessions.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. She will discuss what feels most useful based on a person's goals, history, and day-to-day needs. That means testing methods, reviewing what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than sticking to one fixed method.

Specific session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten check-ins when needed, avoid travel time, and allow work around caregiving or job commitments. Licensed professionals often use these conveniences to help therapy fit into everyday life while focusing on clear goals and practical skills.
