About Susan

Susan Ramsey-French is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Florida who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and major life changes. She focuses on practical support for those coping with anger, relationship strain, self-esteem struggles, bipolar concerns, and compassion fatigue. The first paragraph should feel direct and calm for a worried reader on a phone.

Ramsey-French uses a person-centered approach that starts with listening. She helps clients name what feels hardest and sets clear, manageable goals together. Sessions often include concrete tools for handling panic, mood shifts, intrusive memories, and day-to-day overwhelm.

Her background blends client-centered work with cognitive tools and trauma-focused methods. That mix lets her match strategies to each person’s needs, whether the focus is changing thoughts and behaviors or processing past hurts. Mindfulness and motivational techniques are added when they fit the client’s goals.

Clients can expect straightforward language and collaborative planning. Ramsey-French aims to teach coping skills that fit into everyday life, and to pace work to each person’s comfort level. She emphasizes steady progress over quick fixes.

With eight years of clinical experience in Florida, she brings steady experience to complex cases like attachment, abandonment, blended family issues, dissociation, and domestic violence. For those coping with major disruptions or disasters, she offers support that aims to restore routine and emotional balance.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy is about being heard and understood. It focuses on the client's goals and feelings, with the therapist following the client's lead to build trust and direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches concrete skills for managing anxiety, depression, and mood swings. EMDR, a trauma-focused method, helps people process distressing memories through structured sessions to reduce their intensity; it is often used for trauma and severe stress reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit best based on needs, goals, and personal preferences. That plan can be adjusted as progress is made and new issues arise.

Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, cut travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people use mindfulness exercises or CBT homework between appointments, so change can be practiced in daily life.
