About Susan
Dr. Susan Sult greets people with a direct, practical approach. She is a Florida psychologist with decades of experience who helps people manage stress, anxiety, mood concerns, relationship strain, and codependency. She aims to make therapy understandable and useful from the first session.
Dr. Sult uses clear, goal-focused conversations to help clients name the changes they want. She draws from cognitive-behavioral methods to spot and shift unhelpful thinking. She also uses solution-focused and emotionally attuned techniques to build practical steps forward and strengthen relationships.
With 35 years in the field she has worked with a wide range of concerns, including trauma, addiction, bipolar disorder, sleep and eating problems, and parenting challenges. Her background includes experience in individual, couple, and family work, and she often helps people untangle patterns such as abandonment fears, attachment struggles, control issues, and dependent behaviors.
Sessions involve identifying clear goals, trying concrete strategies, and reviewing what works. She explains techniques so people can use them between sessions. The focus is on making steady, achievable progress rather than quick fixes.
Outside the office she enjoys horseback riding, quilting, cooking, and time with family and friends. Those interests feed a down-to-earth style in sessions that combines practical tools with an understanding of how life feels day to day.
How her approaches translate to online work
Dr. Sult commonly uses cognitive-behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT often focuses on practical exercises and skill practice that translate well to remote sessions. She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance, which teach clear steps people can try between meetings.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss the goals, try methods that fit the person's needs, and adjust the plan based on what helps. The process is collaborative and focused on building skills that a person can use outside session time.
The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to keep regular appointments, check in during a break at work, or follow up after trying a skill in daily life. Confirm current session options before booking to learn which formats are available for scheduling and to choose what best fits everyday routines.
