About Susan
Susan Bump is a licensed marriage and family therapist who brings five years of clinical experience to her practice. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, self esteem, and coping with life changes. Susan creates a calm space where people can speak honestly about their thoughts and feelings. She emphasizes practical steps and steady support as clients work toward feeling more satisfied and whole.
Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas and somatic techniques to help people understand how past relationships and body sensations shape current struggles. Sessions often explore patterns that show up in relationships and in how the body reacts to stress. Susan guides clients to notice these patterns and try different responses, one small step at a time.
She also addresses related issues such as abandonment worries, codependency, family of origin concerns, guilt and shame, and body image. Susan helps people sort priorities and set boundaries so daily life feels more manageable. She pays attention to both emotions and practical problem solving.
Susan works with adults who are looking for clearer communication, steadier self-worth, and better ways to handle big life changes. Her style is straightforward and compassionate, with a focus on what clients can do between sessions. The goal is steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Attachment and Body-Focused Work Online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape how people connect and respond today. It helps when relationship patterns cause anxiety, clinginess, withdrawal, or difficulty trusting others. Somatic Therapy invites attention to physical sensations and bodily responses tied to stress and trauma, helping people notice tension, breath, and movement as part of emotional change.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide whether attachment-focused conversations, somatic practices, or a blend of both feels most helpful. Goals, preferences, and everyday needs guide that choice so sessions fit what someone actually wants to work on.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. In general, online work can make scheduling easier and help therapy fit into busy days. It can also support shorter check-ins when a full session doesn't fit, reduce travel time, and let people work on grounding practices or role-play from their own environment. Licensed professionals adapt exercises so they translate well to an online setting and to a person's goals.
