Susan Galewaler, LPC

Susan Galewaler is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 30 years of clinical experience in Texas. She focuses on practical work to reduce stress and anxiety, and she helps people manage relationship and family challenges. She also supports people recovering from trauma, abuse, and depression. Susan encourages those first steps toward help and acknowledges that reaching out takes courage.

In sessions she aims to build an open, nonjudgmental atmosphere where clients can talk through their thoughts and feelings. She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide conversations and tailor steps that make sense for each person. The work often centers on improving communication, addressing attachment or abandonment concerns, and managing guilt, shame, or control issues.

Susan has experience with families facing custody questions and co-authored an educational book used by family therapists for assessment in difficult custody situations. That background informs how she frames parenting, household stress, and conflict so clients can make clearer decisions.

She also supports people dealing with chronic pain, illness, or disability and helps caregivers manage stress related to long-term care. Veterans and those connected to the armed forces are listed among areas of focus, with attention to the specific life stressors they may face.

Susan works in English and welcomes international clients through the appropriate channels. To begin, prospective clients complete a brief questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability.

How evidence-based approaches guide online therapy

Many clinicians use evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical steps and clear goals. One common approach involves helping people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety and depression. Another approach concentrates on improving attachment and communication patterns so relationships feel safer and more manageable.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying a few strategies, tracking what helps, and adjusting the plan together over time.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or removing the need to be on camera for every session. Licensed professionals aim to adapt the structure and techniques so therapy remains practical and relevant to everyday challenges.
