About Susan
Susan Toth is a licensed social worker (LISW-CP) based in South Carolina who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and addiction concerns. She also supports people dealing with grief, sleep problems, parenting strain, career stress, and compassion fatigue. Her approach aims to make difficult problems feel more manageable day to day.
Susan uses straightforward, practical conversation to sort out what’s happening and what matters most. She helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck and tries out small changes that can ease distress. Sessions focus on real-life steps rather than jargon or long theories.
Over 16 years of practice, Susan has worked with people on trauma and abuse, family of origin issues, caregiving stress, and problems like codependency and impulsivity. She brings experience addressing communication problems, infidelity, divorce and separation, and substance use concerns. Her background supports helping people navigate both sudden life changes and long-term struggles.
In sessions she blends client-centered listening with evidence-based strategies such as cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, and solution-focused work. That mix is meant to help clients make practical shifts in thinking, cope with difficult feelings, and try new ways of relating to others.
Susan asks questions, reflects what she hears, and works collaboratively to set goals. People who want clear, down-to-earth guidance for managing emotions, relationships, and financial stressors can expect a steady, supportive presence in their work together.
How her approaches translate to online work
Susan commonly draws on client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide remote sessions. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening closely, reflecting what you say, and shaping goals together; it helps when people need a calmer space to talk through difficult events. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to test new ways of thinking and behaving, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Susan will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to try first, and she adjusts plans as needs and goals change. The work is conversational and goal-focused, with regular check-ins about what is helping.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so please confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also make it simpler to schedule around caregiving, work breaks, or other daily demands while keeping the focus on real-life changes and coping strategies.
