Susan Cockrell, LCSW

Susan Cockrell is a licensed clinical social worker who uses practical, person-focused therapy to help people through difficult life moments. She draws on several evidence-based approaches to meet people where they are and work toward clearer goals.

She often helps people facing addiction, anxiety, depression, and stress. She also supports those struggling with self-esteem, intimacy-related issues, relationship and communication problems, and workplace concerns. Aging and geriatric issues are listed among her focus areas for people navigating later-life challenges.

Susan blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with cognitive behavioral tools and client-centered care. That means sessions include values-focused conversations, skill practice, and time to talk about what matters most in daily life. She offers concrete strategies along with space to process emotions.

Her background includes five years of clinical practice and licensure as an LCSW in Texas and Arizona. She has worked with people from the LGBTQ community and with those facing disability, chronic illness, caregiving strain, and trauma-related problems.

Sessions are paced to match each person's needs, whether the focus is short-term problem solving or longer-term growth. People who are ready to explore coping skills, grief, career transitions, or relationship repair will find straightforward, compassionate support.

Therapeutic approaches online and how they help

Susan uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide her work. ACT focuses on identifying personal values and taking small steps toward them even with difficult thoughts or feelings, which can help with grief, life transitions, and meaning during aging. CBT looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage depression, and change unhelpful habits.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels useful, then tailor sessions so the work fits day-to-day life and priorities.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people choose online therapy because it can fit into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce time spent traveling. Working with licensed professionals remotely can make it easier to continue steady progress while juggling caregiving, work, or health-related needs.
