About Susana
Susana (Susie) Hernandez is an LPC who helps adults and teens navigate stress, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and addiction. She focuses on building a trusting connection first so people can feel safer talking about what matters to them. Susie aims to help clients find a clearer sense of identity and belonging as they work toward better relationships and personal goals.
Susie centers the counseling relationship as the starting point for change. She blends practical strategies with careful listening so clients can try small steps toward relief between sessions. Her work often brings together clients' values, faith, and spirituality when that feels important to them.
Her approach draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thinking and acceptance and commitment ideas to help people act in line with their values. She also uses attachment-based and client-centered methods to strengthen how people relate to themselves and others.
Susie has five years of clinical experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas. She supports people dealing with relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, grief, caregiver stress, ADHD, body image, codependency, and communication problems among other issues.
Outside of work Susie enjoys being with family, going to the park or gym, and cooking. Those everyday interests inform a down-to-earth style in session that aims to make progress feel practical and achievable.
How Susie Uses Different Therapy Approaches Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values; it is useful for anxiety, life transitions, and decisions about work or relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and helps people build more secure ways of connecting and communicating with others.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Susie will work with each person to match methods to their goals, values, and life situation rather than using one fixed method. Together they decide which tools to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, and let people join from different locations. Therapists can use exercises, values work, behavioral experiments, and communication practice effectively in remote sessions, and Susie's practical, relationship-focused style translates well to online care.
