About Susan
Susan Mount is a licensed professional counselor in Colorado with 22 years of experience. She offers steady, compassionate support for people facing stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, mood struggles, and relationship challenges. Susan focuses on practical steps you can try between sessions and on building clearer communication at home.
Susan’s background includes long work with children, young adults, and families in residential and school settings, plus time in addiction treatment contexts.
Background and approach
That work shaped a hands-on style that values safety and steady progress. She has supported people affected by abuse, eating concerns, and complicated life changes. In sessions she is warm, interactive, and strengths-focused.
Conversations center on what’s going wrong now and what small changes might help. She combines thought-focused strategies with attention to emotions and attachment to help people notice patterns and try new actions. Susan uses tools from cognitive-behavioral approaches, attachment-informed work, emotionally focused ideas, and client-centered listening.
She also draws on existential questions about meaning when life transitions or grief make direction feel unclear. Her work tends to be practical, with ideas to practice between meetings. People come to Susan for help with parenting stress, compassion fatigue, addiction recovery support, intimacy and relationship concerns, and for coping with medical or end-of-life stressors.
She also addresses identity and LGBT-related concerns and the emotional fallout of separation and blended family dynamics. Susan accepts international clients for online work and offers multiple session formats. She invites people to take the first step and complete a short matching questionnaire to begin scheduling.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Susan uses attachment-informed work to look at how early bonds shape current relationships and emotional reactions. This helps people who struggle with closeness, trust, or repeated conflict to notice patterns and try different responses.She also relies on cognitive-behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT-style work is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with daily stress because it breaks problems into small, changeable parts.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Susan will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then shape sessions together. That collaborative process can mix attachment, CBT, and emotionally focused ideas as needed.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversation. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter updates, between-session support, or when writing helps process thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum during transitions.
