Susan LeClair is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 22 years of clinical experience. She has worked in crisis intervention and helped people facing anxiety, depression, grief, and major life transitions.

She also has experience with gender identity and LGBT concerns, fertility and adoption matters, and career or life change issues. Her practice emphasizes clear goals and practical next steps.

In sessions she focuses on building trust and a respectful working relationship. Susan describes herself as ethical and direct, and she encourages people to be ready to engage in the work needed to move forward. She aims to make progress feel manageable rather than overwhelming.

Her work often centers on problem solving and identifying small, useful changes that add up over time. People come to her for help with parenting stress, anger, self-esteem, caregiving burden, and coping with chronic illness among other concerns. She also supports people dealing with attachment, abandonment, and blended family issues.

Susan practices in Connecticut as a CT LMFT. If you decide to connect, the first step is a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session based on availability.

How solution-focused work translates to online sessions

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on clear goals and small steps that build momentum. It asks what a person wants to be different and identifies practical actions to try between sessions. This approach is often used for concerns like anxiety, relationship issues, parenting stress, and coping with life changes.

The right approach is something to find together. Susan will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. She checks in about what is helping and adjusts the plan so the work stays relevant and manageable.

Session formats are not listed in the profile, so please confirm current online options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, cut travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that is helpful. Some people appreciate being able to schedule sessions around work or caregiving responsibilities, while others like regular weekly time to focus on change. Susan helps each person determine what rhythm and format of sessions will work best for them.
