Susan Cockrell

Susan Cockrell is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on practical, person-centered support. She uses straightforward, compassionate care to help people facing addiction, grief, anxiety, and major life changes. Susan works from Arizona and integrates approaches that fit each person’s needs.

She often helps people sort out relationship and intimacy concerns. She also supports those managing caregiving strain, chronic illness, or the stress that comes from workplace and career shifts. Sessions aim to make daily coping clearer and more manageable.

Susan uses tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to guide sessions. That means she helps people notice what matters, challenge unhelpful thoughts, and build practical skills for day-to-day life. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy strategies when people need help with emotion regulation and interpersonal boundaries.

Her background includes five years of clinical practice and work with LGBTQ+ individuals and people facing disability and health issues. She brings attention to grief, trauma, and substance concerns without assuming one single path for everyone.

In sessions she focuses on clear goals, steady skill-building, and real-world changes. People meet to talk through struggles, practice new responses, and plan next steps. The overall aim is stronger coping and more capacity to handle life’s hard moments.

Approaches and how online therapy can work for you

Susan uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide her work online. ACT helps people clarify their values and take steps toward a life that matters to them, even when difficult feelings are present. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and practicing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist collaborates with each person to test techniques and decide what fits best for their goals and daily life. Sessions are adjusted over time based on progress and preferences.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule, cut travel time, and keep therapy consistent during life changes. Online work also lets people practice skills between meetings and bring real situations into discussion for immediate problem solving.
