Susan Mount, LPC

Susan Mount is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing from Colorado with 22 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. Her style is warm and interactive, aiming to build practical skills and strengthen what already works for each person.

She uses cognitive behavioral techniques alongside attachment-based and client-centered approaches. Sessions are straightforward and goal-oriented, with an emphasis on learning tools to shift thoughts and behaviors. Susan also brings emotionally focused and existential perspectives when deeper meaning or relationship patterns arise.

Susan has a long history working in diverse settings including treatment centers and school environments. That background informs how she supports people coping with grief, addiction, eating and food-related concerns, and complicated family dynamics. She also offers care for those dealing with compassion fatigue, first responder stress, and end-of-life matters.

People meet her for help with relationship and intimacy-related issues, low self-esteem, anger, and challenges tied to parenting or blended families. She routinely addresses attachment struggles, codependency, dissociation, and post-traumatic stress in practical ways that aim to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

Her sessions focus on collaboration and clear steps. Susan encourages clients to name goals, try manageable strategies, and track progress. She frames therapy as a process of discovering strengths and building habits that support a more satisfying life.

How Susan’s Approaches Translate to Online Care

CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. Attachment-based work helps people notice patterns in close relationships and experiment with different ways of relating to feel more secure. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental stance where the therapist follows the client’s lead and helps them discover their own solutions.

Choosing the best approach is part of the work together. Susan will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. That collaboration helps shape whether sessions lean more toward skill practice, exploring relationship patterns, or supporting meaning and values.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for longer, face-to-face conversations; phone calls can fit a short break in a busy day or work when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between meetings, complete brief exercises, or have a quick therapy touchpoint without scheduling a full session.
