About Susana
Susana (Susie) Hernandez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and life transitions. She meets adults and teens and focuses on building a trusting connection so clients can feel understood and begin to heal.
Susie centers the therapeutic relationship first. She believes trust opens the door to deeper change and that a sense of belonging supports mental health. She encourages clients to explore identity so they can experience greater acceptance and wholeness.
Her work often includes people coping with depression, addictions, grief, and parenting challenges. She also supports those dealing with intimacy-related issues, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and career concerns. Codependency and attachment issues are among the additional focuses she addresses.
Susie uses several practical approaches in sessions, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to spot unhelpful thinking, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to clarify values, and Client-Centered Therapy to keep the client's perspective central. She also draws on Attachment-Based ideas and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills as needed.
With five years of experience, Susie blends talk, practical skills, and faith when clients want spirituality included in counseling. Outside of work she enjoys time with family, exercising, and cooking.
How Susie's Approaches Fit into Online Therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and take values-based action even when feelings are hard. It is helpful for anxiety, life transitions, and making clearer choices. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people build safer, more predictable ways of relating. It can be useful for codependency, attachment concerns, and intimacy issues. Client-Centered Therapy puts the client's experience at the center of sessions and relies on empathetic listening to help people find their own answers and strengths.Finding the right approach is usually a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what feels helpful. Clients are invited to give feedback so sessions match their needs and preferences.
The biography does not list which online session formats are provided, so confirm the available options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life - sessions may be scheduled around work, reduce commute time, or allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Some formats also let clients choose audio-only visits when they prefer not to use video, which can be useful on a hectic day.
