About Susana
Susana Deltoro is a bilingual Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, and issues related to self-esteem and mood. She also supports those facing parenting challenges, sleep problems, anger, career stress, and codependency. Susana works with people navigating identity and multicultural concerns, including LGBT and immigration-related stresses. She speaks English and Spanish.
Susana brings 11 years of clinical experience and a practical, person-centered style to her work. She earned a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling from the University of the Southwest and graduated Magna Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology. Early in her training she completed a graduate internship at Santa Maria Hostel in Houston, focusing on co-occurring disorders in women and families and facilitating groups at both intensive and outpatient levels.
Her approach is grounded in client-centered care and strengths. Sessions often focus on what matters to the person in front of her and on building useful skills. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing are used to address thoughts, behaviors, and motivation when those are relevant.
She also integrates existential ideas and mindfulness practices to help clients find meaning and manage difficult emotions in everyday life. This can be useful for people wrestling with life purpose, midlife decisions, or a sense of emptiness.
Susana has experience with blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, dependent personality concerns, and communication or commitment issues. Her tone is practical and respectful, and she aims to help people make tangible changes over time.
How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person as the expert on their life. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps people name their priorities so they can choose next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and actions interact. It teaches practical tools to change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors that keep problems like anxiety or sleeping trouble going.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with the person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying strategies, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than following a fixed script.
For practical benefits, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and reduce travel time. It can allow shorter check-ins when needed and remove barriers related to scheduling. Session format options are not detailed here, so confirm the current session options before booking to make sure they match personal needs and daily routines.
