About Susan

Dr. Susan Sult is a Florida psychologist with 35 years of experience who helps adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship struggles, addiction, and related concerns. She writes in plain terms and aims to make therapy a practical partnership. People who want clear goals and doable steps often find this style helpful.

Dr. Sult uses straightforward methods such as cognitive behavioral work, dialectical behavior strategies, emotionally focused ideas, mindfulness, and solution-focused techniques. She talks through current problems, identifies patterns that keep them going, and practices specific skills to change those patterns. Sessions tend to focus on what to try next and how to make steady progress.

Her background spans many areas that can affect everyday life, including mood disorders, bipolar disorder, anger, sleep and eating concerns, ADHD, chronic illness and pain, and intimacy-related issues. She also addresses family and relationship topics and areas like attachment, abandonment, blended family concerns, and communication problems. The work can include exploring past trauma where it relates to present difficulties.

Dr. Sult holds the Florida Psychologist credential PY3854, and she practices in Florida. She conducts sessions in English. International clients are not accepted. For people who want a pragmatic, experience-based approach, she offers clear explanations and step-by-step plans to support change.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Dr. Sult frequently draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioral experiments. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and many stress-related issues. She also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy to teach practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal interactions, which can help with anger, mood instability, and impulsive behavior.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review a person’s needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can be adjusted as progress is tracked.
