About Susan
Dr. Susan Lieberman uses straightforward, evidence-based therapy to help people regain balance in their lives. She is a licensed psychologist in Kansas and brings 24 years of experience to sessions. People come to her with anxiety, depression, relationship stress, and struggles like codependency or burnout. She focuses on clear goals and steady progress in day-to-day life.
Her approach blends practical skills with attention to past patterns that keep problems repeating. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people accept difficult feelings while moving toward what matters to them.
Dr. Lieberman pays attention to how attachment and relationships shape current struggles. That helps when people wrestle with abandonment, intimacy-related worries, or blended family tensions. She also supports those facing chronic illness, caregiving stress, or major life changes.
Sessions aim to teach tools that fit into busy lives. Clients work on communication, coping skills, sleep routines, and ways to manage anger or mood swings. The tone is respectful and practical, with space to talk through painful experiences.
People who choose her often want a therapist who listens and offers step-by-step strategies. Her background includes many years helping adults build emotional resilience and clearer relationships. She invites people to explore what change could look like for them.
Therapeutic approaches useful for online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then focus on actions tied to personal values. It is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and codependency where avoidance keeps problems going.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing thought patterns and behaviors that maintain distress. It is practical and skill-oriented, useful for sleep problems, mood disorders, and managing stress in daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods fit best based on goals, preferences, and how they respond over a few sessions. That collaborative process aims to match techniques to real-life needs rather than following a single method.
Please confirm available session formats before booking, as specific online or remote options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, reduce commuting time, or avoid being on camera when that helps someone engage. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT exercises for remote sessions so clients can practice skills between meetings.
