About Susan

Susan Csank is a licensed independent social worker (LISW) who focuses on women's issues and a wide range of life challenges. She brings 23 years of clinical experience to brief and deeper work, helping people manage anxiety, addiction, grief, trauma, and relationship concerns. She speaks English and Estonian and frames sessions around clear goals and practical skills.

Susan uses an eclectic, person-focused approach that centers the client's needs. She offers straightforward education about coping skills and helps people practice new ways of handling stress and strong emotions. Sessions often include talk, skill-building, and step-by-step problem solving.

Her background includes long experience in both mental health and addiction settings, with work in individual and group therapy. That history informs how she addresses codependency, family-of-origin issues, and communication problems. Clients who need help with caregiver stress, compassion fatigue, or life transitions may find this practical orientation helpful.

Susan aims to make the first contact simple and clear. She encourages people to set modest goals, learn manageable tools, and notice small changes. Her style is supportive and direct, focused on helping people find workable next steps.

She invites prospective clients to begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first appointment to see how the approach fits their needs.

Approach-driven online therapy that fits your life

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's priorities, creating room to set goals at a pace that feels manageable. It helps when someone wants a supportive space to talk through feelings and decisions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It uses practical exercises and homework to help reduce anxiety, depression, and problematic habits by changing unhelpful thinking and behaviors.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match the person's goals, needs, and preferences. That way sessions stay relevant and useful rather than one-size-fits-all.

Online therapy can fit into busy schedules and everyday life. It can make regular appointments easier to keep, help someone continue care during transitions, and allow for brief check-ins when needed. Because session formats are set by the therapist, confirm which options are available before booking to ensure they match your needs.
