About Susan
Susan Jordan-Kertzner is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado with 19 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, low self-esteem, career uncertainty, parenting challenges, ADHD, grief, and codependency. Her approach is warm and affirming, and she aims to help clients feel heard and more capable in day-to-day life.
Susan uses several well-known therapy approaches to match what a person needs. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thinking and behaviors. She also works with attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy tools and mindfulness practices help clients clarify values and take practical steps forward.
Susan describes her style as interactive and collaborative. She focuses on building a practical plan with clients that targets growth and better coping. Sessions may include skills practice, reflective conversation, and short exercises tailored to real problems at home, work, and in relationships.
She has experience as a psychotherapist and executive coach and brings that blend to help people with career transitions and leadership stress. Her work also addresses trauma, somatic responses, and emotional regulation while keeping the focus on usable strategies.
Susan affirms LGBT clients and people from diverse backgrounds. She invites clients to identify goals and then works step by step toward them, aiming for clearer choices and greater life satisfaction.
Approach-driven online care and what it can do
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name what matters to them and take small, practical steps toward those values while accepting difficult feelings. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going, which can help with panic, depression, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current behavior and helps people try new ways of relating and communicating.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Susan will collaborate with each client to choose methods that fit goals, needs, and comfort level. That might mean trying a skill-building strategy for a few sessions, then shifting to deeper relational work if that feels helpful.
The practical advantages of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy schedule and reducing travel time so sessions can occur around work or childcare. Online work can make it easier to use brief check-ins when days are hectic or to schedule longer sessions during less busy times.
