About Susan

Susan Henry is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of practice. She holds an IA LISW and an NV LCSW and works with adults in Minnesota on a wide range of concerns, including anger, stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, and addiction.

She focuses on practical steps people can use when feelings become overwhelming. Sessions look at patterns that lead to snapping, resentment, or repeated conflict. She also helps people manage sleep, eating, and work stress that feed emotional reactivity.

Her style draws on several evidence-informed methods. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts and change unhelpful reactions. She also uses Attachment-Based and Client-Centered ideas to understand how past relationships affect current responses.

Susan aims to help clients build clearer communication habits and stronger emotional regulation. Work can include small behavior changes, practice in-session, and planning for real-world situations where anger shows up. Progress is measured by what clients can do differently between sessions.

She has extensive experience supporting people through trauma, grief, major life changes, and identity-related concerns. Many referrals come from work-related stress, parenting strain, and long-term patterns of avoidance or impulsivity. For first steps, clients follow the site flow to review online therapy options and schedule an initial session.

How sessions work

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values instead of reacting on impulse. It can help when anger feels automatic and people want more control over their responses. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete strategies to interrupt unhelpful cycles. It is useful for workplace frustration, rumination, and patterns that escalate conflict.

Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist and client review needs, goals, and what feels manageable. They may try an approach for several sessions and adjust based on what helps the client practice calmer responses in daily life.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Therapists can use short skills practice, repeated in-session role play, and concrete between-session exercises so the work translates into real situations where anger appears.
