Susan Galewaler, LPC

Susan Galewaler is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 30 years of experience. She focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, family conflict, and trauma and abuse. She aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable. Her approach is calm and direct, and she encourages people to reach out when they are ready.

Susan helps people talk through overwhelming emotions and family tensions in straightforward terms. She has worked with clients facing custody-related concerns and co-authored an educational book used by family therapists for assessing families and children in difficult custody situations. That background informs how she frames problems and goals in therapy.

In sessions she creates a nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be named. Conversations focus on what is happening now and practical ways to cope. She works with people to identify patterns in relationships, including attachment and communication issues, and to build clearer boundaries and routines.

Susan also supports people dealing with chronic illness, caregiver stress, isolation, midlife transitions, and concerns common to veterans and armed forces experiences. She helps clients sort through guilt, shame, and forgiveness so they can move forward at their own pace.

If someone wants to begin, she asks them to select the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire. Scheduling is arranged based on therapist availability and the subscription used for sessions can be canceled at any time.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online therapy

Susan uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear goals and practical steps. One common approach involves working on patterns in relationships and attachment to help people communicate more effectively and reduce repeated conflicts. Another approach focuses on coping strategies for stress, anxiety, and depression by teaching skills to regulate mood and manage daily routines.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs, goals, and preferences, then try methods that fit those aims. If something does not feel helpful, the plan can be adjusted together until it does.

The biography does not list which session formats are offered, so confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing appointments during breaks or evenings. It can also permit shorter check-ins when schedules are tight and let people focus on therapy without rearranging as much of their day.
