Susan Jentoft, LPC

Susan Jentoft is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 25 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strains, and major life changes. Her practice also addresses addiction, trauma, sleep and eating concerns, and challenges related to parenting and career stress.

Susan takes a straightforward, compassionate approach. She listens first, then helps people set small, realistic goals. Sessions often focus on day-to-day coping, clearer communication, and steps to reduce distress. She uses a mix of techniques matched to each person’s situation.

Clients can expect practical tools alongside reflective conversation. Susan draws on cognitive behavior strategies to shift unhelpful thoughts. She also uses mindfulness and acceptance-based ideas to reduce struggle with difficult feelings. Emotion-focused elements help when relationship patterns are part of the problem.

Her experience covers a wide range of concerns, including bipolar mood challenges, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and issues that come with aging or serious illness. She also addresses body image, codependency, hoarding, and the effects of trauma or disaster on daily life.

Susan values clear, collaborative work. She aims to help people build skills they can use between sessions. People who want practical change along with deeper emotional understanding often find this approach useful.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them, then choose actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with health or life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing it with real-life experiments to reduce distress and change behavior. It is often used for anxiety, mood concerns, and sleep or eating problems. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental listening stance that helps people explore feelings and develop their own solutions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and adjust methods as needed. That collaboration guides whether sessions emphasize skills practice, emotional work, or acceptance strategies.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow people to check in from different places. It can also make some appointments simpler to schedule around work, caregiving, or medical needs. Licensed professionals often adapt exercises and mindfulness practices for remote sessions so clients can work on tools between meetings.
