About Susanne
Susanne Jenemann is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in New York with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, low self-esteem, motivation and confidence. She presents herself as someone who respects each person's story and strengths.
Susanne emphasizes that people know their own experience best. She uses that perspective to help clients talk through painful events and recurring patterns. Sessions are practical and focus on skills as well as understanding what keeps problems going.
Her background includes methods that attend to relationships and personal narrative. She draws on client-centered work to follow the client's lead and on narrative ideas to separate a person from the problems they face. She also brings approaches focused on trauma and on parts work to address painful memories and inner conflict.
In practice she helps people examine communication problems, family of origin issues, guilt and shame, and challenges linked to culture or discrimination. She also addresses parenting concerns, addiction, and issues that affect veterans and armed forces communities. Anger appears among the areas she works with.
Sessions aim to identify patterns, build clearer communication, and develop coping skills for day-to-day life. Susanne encourages small, specific changes people can try between meetings. The goal is more manageable reactions and clearer choices about how to respond.
She offers care in English and practices from New York. The profile explains how her approaches are used online and how to begin scheduling a first session.
How sessions work
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-centered work places the client’s experience front and center. Online sessions using this approach focus on listening, reflecting, and letting the client guide what matters most. It helps people who need a steady, person-led conversation to sort through stress and relationship issues.The Gottman Method concentrates on communication skills and conflict patterns. In an online format this can mean hands-on practice with real conversations, learning simple tools to reduce escalation, and homework to try between sessions. It is often used for improving how people talk and resolve everyday conflicts.
Trauma-focused work and Internal Family Systems both help when painful memories or internal parts are causing trouble. Trauma-focused methods work on processing distressing events safely, while parts-based work helps identify and calm internal voices that fuel anger or shame. Online sessions can still guide grounding exercises and memory processing in paced steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then adapt methods together. This is a collaborative process rather than a preset plan.
Session formats are not listed here in the profile; confirm current options before booking. Online meetings can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday or a busy home life, reduce travel time, and let people use shorter check-ins when needed. Practical benefits include more consistent attendance and the ability to try communication work in real time without losing large blocks of the day.
