About Susan
Susan Hull is a licensed independent social worker (LISW) based in Ohio with 17 years of experience. She focuses on helping adults who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, grief, stress, and difficult life changes. Her style is direct and compassionate, offering steady support during hard moments.
Susan uses practical, evidence-informed methods to help people understand their emotions and make small, lasting changes. She often works with issues tied to attachment, codependency, caregiver strain, and substance concerns. She also has experience supporting people affected by trauma, addiction, and mood disorders.
In sessions she listens closely and helps clients identify patterns that get in the way of feeling better. Conversations aim to build skills for coping with panic, managing strong emotions, and improving communication. Susan emphasizes clear steps clients can try between meetings.
Her background includes work with women, veterans, and first responders, and she brings that experience into treatment when relevant to the client's goals. She also supports people facing serious illness and end-of-life decisions, including hospice-related concerns.
Susan describes therapy as a collaborative process where the client’s needs guide the work. To begin, she helps people set practical goals and choose strategies that fit their daily life. She encourages steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current emotional patterns. It helps people notice ways they get stuck in closeness or distance and develop more secure ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and pacing; the therapist listens without judgment and follows the client’s concerns to build trust and insight. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns and reduce symptoms like panic and low mood.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to the client’s goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions often combine elements from different approaches so the work stays practical and focused on real-life change.
