About Susan

Susan Ramsey-French is a Florida-based licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and major life changes. She focuses on improving self-esteem, managing anger, and addressing compassion fatigue and relationship tensions. Her style is straightforward and compassionate, aimed at helping people regain day-to-day balance.

She uses practical approaches that match each person’s needs. Sessions often include talk therapy, skill-building, and techniques to reduce overwhelm. EMDR is part of her approach for people dealing with trauma and distressing memories.

Background and approach

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness tools are also used to help change unhelpful thinking and improve emotional regulation. With eight years of experience, Susan blends counseling methods to fit individual goals. She draws on client-centered principles to keep sessions focused on what matters most to the person in the room.

Motivational interviewing is used when people need help deciding on next steps or making changes. Her work addresses a wide range of concerns beyond the common ones, including attachment and abandonment issues, codependency and communication problems, dissociation, and coping after disasters. She also supports people managing bipolar symptoms and co-occurring conditions.

Susan offers sessions in English from Florida. Her goal is to help people build coping skills, process difficult memories, and find clearer paths forward. The emphasis is on concrete tools and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Online support

Approaches that guide online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy puts the person’s goals first and focuses on listening and understanding. This approach helps people clarify what matters to them and guides session topics around their priorities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior. It uses clear, action-focused techniques to reduce anxiety, manage mood swings, and change unhelpful patterns.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, often called EMDR, is used for people who carry distressing memories. It involves targeted processing to lessen the emotional charge of those memories and reduce triggers.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. That plan can change over time as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat works for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible so people can fit care into busy schedules.
