About Susan
Susan Land is a licensed clinical social worker with more than 40 years of experience. She offers steady, practical support when daily pressures feel overwhelming. Her work focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, trauma and major life changes.
She takes a collaborative stance in sessions. That means she helps clients identify what is most getting in the way and then works with them to try new ways of coping. Conversations are practical and aimed at small, doable changes that can reduce daily strain and improve relationships over time.
Susan has worked across a wide range of concerns, including codependency, attachment and abandonment worries, caregiver stress, and the emotional impact of chronic illness or disability. She also supports people dealing with dissociation, control issues, communication problems, and the effects of divorce or separation.
Her decades of clinical practice give her experience with complex and overlapping problems, such as co-morbidity and blended family stress. She helps people sort priorities, set boundaries, and develop safer ways to ask for what they need. Sessions aim to be straightforward and paced to each person’s readiness.
Susan is credentialed as an LCSW in California and an LCSW-C in Maryland, and she conducts work in English. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.
How Susan Uses Practical, Evidence-Based Techniques Online
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on real skills that people can use between sessions. One common approach emphasizes learning new coping and communication skills to reduce anxiety and improve relationships; it helps with everyday stress and conflict. Another approach targets patterns like codependency and attachment worries by helping people notice repeating behaviors, test different responses, and build clearer personal boundaries.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that seem most likely to help. That plan can be adjusted over time as needs change and progress is reviewed together.
For practical matters, confirm available session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - sessions can avoid travel, allow shorter check-ins on a break, or remove the need to be on camera if that helps someone engage. Licensed professionals will discuss how to structure sessions so they match the client’s schedule and goals.
