About Susie
Dr. Susie Stubbs uses a person-centered approach to help people navigate stress, anxiety, career questions, and life changes. She draws on 15 years of professional experience and holds MD, LCPC credentials.
Dr. Stubbs centers each session on the person's strengths and goals and offers practical strategies to move forward. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a space where people feel heard and respected.
That approach focuses on listening and reflecting so clients can make choices that fit their values.
Background and approach
She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. Dr. Stubbs has worked with concerns such as addiction, grief, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, depression, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
She also helps with relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting stress, eating and sleeping problems, and career or coaching goals. Sessions aim to be straightforward and goal oriented, with steps people can try between meetings. In Maryland practice she combines a warm, listening stance with practical tools.
People can expect clear feedback, skill building, and a focus on small, manageable changes. Her style balances support with action so progress feels realistic. She explains options and respects each person’s pace.
Decisions about goals and methods are made together, and she adapts work to fit what people say is most useful.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy is about listening, reflecting, and following the person's goals. Online sessions using this approach focus on making space for what matters to the person and on helping them name priorities and next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change thinking and behavior patterns. In remote sessions CBT often includes short exercises, thought records, and homework that people can use between meetings.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that match those needs. If a technique isn’t helpful, she will adjust the plan together with the person to find a better fit.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls approximate face-to-face conversation for skill practice and deeper discussion. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, quick coping strategies, and maintaining momentum between longer sessions. These options make it easier to schedule care and keep progress steady.
