About Susan
Susan Toth is a Licensed Independent Social Worker-Clinical Practice (LISW-CP) in South Carolina with 16 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship problems, and struggles with addiction. She also helps people dealing with family of origin issues and caregiver strain.
Susan takes a practical, client-centered approach in sessions. She listens to what matters most and then helps clients try different ways to respond. That can mean using cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking, mindfulness practices to manage strong emotions, or solution-focused steps to make concrete changes.
Sessions tend to concentrate on everyday patterns that cause recurring problems. Topics often include communication difficulties, boundaries, codependency, commitment worries, and the effects of childhood family dynamics on current relationships. Susan supports people who want clearer roles and more predictable reactions in their daily life.
She combines short-term, goal-oriented work with room to address deeper issues when needed. Practically, that looks like setting clear goals, trying manageable experiments between sessions, and checking what works. The emphasis is on skills people can use right away to reduce distress and improve functioning.
Susan’s background in social work informs a focus on both personal coping and practical life demands. She commonly helps clients balance caregiving responsibilities, career pressures, and relationship strain while addressing emotional symptoms. Sessions are offered in English in South Carolina.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Susan uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in ways that fit remote work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, clarifying what matters to the client, and shaping sessions around their priorities. That approach helps when someone needs to talk through family roles or caregiving strain. CBT targets the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, offering concrete tools to test new ways of thinking and acting between sessions.Choosing an approach is collaborative. Susan will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and then try specific techniques to see what helps. Changes are reviewed together so sessions can be adjusted toward what produces real, manageable improvements in daily life.
The practical benefits of online work are about fitting therapy into a busy schedule. Many people find remote sessions make it easier to meet during work breaks, reduce travel time, or keep appointments when caregiving duties are heavy. Confirm the available session formats before booking so you know which options she offers. Licensed professionals can still use goal-setting, CBT exercises, and mindfulness practices effectively in remote sessions.
