About Susan
Susan Garon is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) licensed in Florida and Kentucky with 20 years of professional experience. She works with people who are coping with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem, and life changes. Her profile also notes work related to adoption and foster care, aging concerns, attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, blended family concerns, and issues such as forgiveness, guilt and shame.
Susan keeps conversations direct and practical. She uses methods that help people name what they are feeling and build clearer next steps. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on skills that can reduce overwhelming reactions or painful cycles. She draws on approaches that include Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and Existential Therapy.
In the room she listens for patterns - repeated thoughts, relationship dynamics, and recurring behavior that feed guilt or isolation. She helps people test small changes and notice the effects. Work can include problem-solving, emotion regulation skills, and reflecting on values and life meaning.
Susan offers straightforward collaboration about goals and steps toward them. She frames therapy as a place to practice new responses to old problems. People who want clear, practical tools alongside reflective conversation often find this approach useful.

How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people can make sense of their feelings and choices. Online sessions using this approach let the therapist and client name feelings, set priorities, and try different ways of talking about hard topics. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches specific exercises to change unhelpful patterns. In remote sessions CBT can include homework, thought records, and step-by-step behavior experiments to test new responses.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each client to pick or combine methods that match current goals and preferences. That decision is revisited as progress and needs change so the plan can shift in a practical way.
The biography does not list which online session formats are available, so confirm the options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - shorter check-ins, sessions that avoid travel, and scheduling that fits a break at work. It can also allow the therapist to assign and review exercises between sessions, helping people practice skills in daily life.
