Sus Austill, LCSW

Sus Austill is a licensed clinical social worker with decades of practice supporting people through addiction, trauma, grief, and major life changes. She uses a person-focused approach that centers the client's story and strengths. Sus listens first, then offers tools drawn from several therapies to help people move forward.

Sus brings 37 years of clinical experience and long-term personal recovery into her work. She has experience across outpatient, residential, and inpatient settings and has supported children, adolescents, adults, and families in mental health, substance use, and crisis stabilization. She also notes many years of parenting experience and time in therapy herself, which shapes how she connects with people.

Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including addictions, depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting stress, and compassion fatigue. Additional focus areas listed include cancer and caregiver stress, codependency, domestic violence, veteran and first responder issues, immigration concerns, and loneliness or isolation.

In sessions Sus may use client-centered listening alongside practical methods such as cognitive-behavioral techniques, motivational interviewing, mindfulness, and narrative work. She aims to offer concrete tools - like coping strategies, recovery-based steps, and ways to tell and reframe difficult stories - rather than abstract theory.

Sessions are offered in English and Danish, and she accepts international clients. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats before booking and can follow the site process to begin.

Approaches that translate well to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's story. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects back what she hears, and helps people feel heard and understood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers concrete exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review the client's goals, preferences, and concerns and will suggest methods likely to help. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.

The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful for fitting therapy into busy days, making it easier to schedule shorter check-ins or regular weekly visits without travel. Online work also lets therapeutic tools like CBT exercises, mindfulness practices, and narrative reflection move directly into daily life and routines. Licensed professionals can adapt listening-based and structured approaches to remote sessions, and the therapist will help tailor activities and pacing to each person's needs.
