About Susan
Susan Filosa is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, and low self-esteem. She writes plainly and meets people where they are to untangle overwhelming feelings and regain daily functioning. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and aim to give practical tools parents and adults can use right away.
Susan draws on client-centered work to follow each person's priorities. She also uses mindfulness practices to help people slow down and find steady ground during hard moments.
Background and approach
Narrative and existential ideas help clients clarify values and make meaning after loss or life change. Her practice focuses on short- and long-term concerns like life transitions, communication problems, isolation, and post-traumatic stress. Susan helps people cope with abandonment worries, social anxiety, and issues around self-love and women's concerns.
She emphasizes concrete strategies such as resilience skills and stress management techniques. Sessions include a mix of talking, reflective exercises, and mindfulness work tailored to the person's needs and interests. The pace is collaborative - the counselor listens first, then offers options that feel doable.
Progress is measured in practical changes, like improved sleep, clearer decisions, or calmer reactions. Susan has ten years of clinical experience in a range of settings in Colorado. She frames therapy as a space for steady, honest work where strengths are highlighted and solutions are built together.
Approaches that translate well to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on following the person's lead and building a supportive relationship. Online sessions let the counselor listen closely, reflect what matters, and help prioritize steps that fit daily life.Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and change patterns in close relationships and attachment responses. In remote sessions this approach can clarify emotional patterns, improve communication, and reduce anxiety tied to relationship wounds.
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus. These exercises adapt easily to phone or video and can be practiced between sessions for steady improvement.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. Together they try techniques, notice what helps, and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls provide face-to-face interaction for in-depth work. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat or text-based messaging supports quick check-ins, ongoing processing, and brief coaching between scheduled appointments. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity and to apply what is learned in everyday situations.
