About Susana
Susana Mejia-Vargas is a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida who focuses on helping people process unresolved trauma. She speaks English and Spanish and works with adults coping with stress, anxiety, grief, and self-esteem concerns. Her approach emphasizes understanding how past events show up in daily life and affect mood, sleep, and relationships.
She uses several evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions, always starting by listening and asking questions to understand what the person is feeling and sensing in their body. Susana describes clients as experts in their own experience and makes clinical decisions while inviting collaboration. She pays attention to communication patterns and works to build rapport through active listening.
Her background includes focused work with adoptees and people connected to adoption and foster care. She helps with attachment questions, identity and cultural issues, grief related to loss, and trauma that can come from complex family histories. She also addresses blended family concerns, divorce and separation, and domestic violence impacts.
Therapy with Susana aims to build resilience and coping skills. She helps people develop ways to manage stress, rely on supports, and reconnect with purpose. Sessions also look at practical communication changes and strategies for managing intense emotions.
If someone is unsure about starting, she encourages that taking the first step matters. Susana collaborates on goals, adjusts pacing to each person, and supports people as they practice new ways of relating to themselves and others.
How evidence-based methods translate to online work
Many of the approaches Susana uses focus on clear skills and written work. Cognitive behavioral techniques look at thoughts and actions and teach practical exercises to reduce anxiety and manage mood. Narrative approaches help people tell and reframe their life story to make sense of past events and reduce shame.Finding the best approach is part of therapy. Susana works together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adapts pacing and homework based on symptoms, daily demands, and what feels most useful in sessions.
The practical benefits of online therapy can include greater flexibility to fit sessions into a busy day and easier access when travel is difficult. Online work also makes it simpler to review worksheets or resources together during a session and to continue skill practice between meetings. Because the profile does not list specific session formats, confirm current options before booking so you know what format will be used.
