About Susan
Susan Rair Krug is a licensed clinical social worker with twenty years of experience. She offers a calm, nonjudgmental space for people who are trying to understand their story. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and substance use concerns while guiding them to build on their strengths.
Susan focuses on practical change. She talks through problem areas and helps people spot patterns that keep them stuck. She uses clear tools to show how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. That helps clients try new responses and see what works for them.
Her background includes long experience supporting people with mood disorders, panic, social anxiety, and issues tied to alcohol or drug use. She also works with people dealing with codependency, guilt and shame, anger, and workplace stress. Her sessions aim to blend discussion with hands-on skill building suited to how each person learns.
Susan draws on client-centered methods to keep the session focused on what matters to the individual. She also uses cognitive behavioral strategies to reshape unhelpful thinking and solution-focused steps to set achievable goals. Motivational interviewing can help when change feels stalled.
She practices in Ohio and works in English. To begin, a short matching questionnaire helps pair a person with the right professional and schedule. Costs vary by location and by the subscription plan that can be canceled at any time.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead. The therapist reflects what she hears and helps people find their own solutions, which works well in conversations carried out remotely.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches people how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. Online sessions can include practical exercises and worksheets to try between meetings for issues like anxiety, panic, and mood shifts.
Mindfulness Therapy helps people notice thoughts and bodily sensations without getting pulled into them. Short guided practices and brief check-ins can be folded into remote appointments to build that awareness over time.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as needed.
Confirm the current session formats before booking, as specific options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, save travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports using digital worksheets and audio practices between sessions to reinforce new skills.
