Susan Garon, LMFT

Susan Garon is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 20 years of clinical experience. She practices in Florida and approaches care with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. She focuses on tailoring conversations and plans to each person's needs so they can move toward a more fulfilling life.

Susan listens first and adjusts her approach to what a person brings into the room. She draws from several therapy styles, including client-centered work that centers the person's own goals, cognitive behavioral methods that look at thought and behavior patterns, and emotion-focused ideas that help name and process strong feelings. Sessions are practical and aimed at daily life changes rather than theory alone.

Common concerns she addresses include stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, self-esteem struggles, and coping with life transitions. She also has additional focus areas such as adoption and foster care matters, aging and geriatric issues, attachment challenges, autism and Asperger Syndrome, blended family concerns, and issues related to veteran and armed forces experiences.

Susan aims to support people through painful periods like divorce, separation, loss, or major life re-evaluations. She helps people sort through guilt, shame, isolation, and questions of life purpose. Her style is collaborative and steady, offering practical tools and gentle reflection.

Approaches that guide online work and practical benefits

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person's own goals and experience, with the therapist following the client's lead to build trust and clarify what matters most. This approach helps when someone needs a listening space and practical direction for making changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going. It is often useful for stress, anxiety, and patterns that affect daily routines.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving how someone copes with stress. It can be helpful for people who need tools for emotion regulation and better problem-solving.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which methods fit best based on needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative planning can change over time as progress is made.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions are delivered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Phone sessions may work well when video would be difficult, and video can allow face-to-face conversation when preferred. Ask about available formats when arranging your first session.
