Susan Jentoft

Susan Jentoft is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 25 years of clinical experience. She focuses on guiding people through grief, life transitions, and emotional struggles that come with aging and serious illness, including hospice and end-of-life concerns. She works with common issues like anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and addiction while keeping discussions straightforward and practical.

Susan uses a compassionate, down-to-earth manner in sessions. She listens first and asks clear questions to help people name what matters. Conversations often turn toward small, doable steps that feel relevant to daily life, such as breathing techniques, routines for better sleep, or ways to talk with loved ones.

Her background includes long-term work with people facing major life changes and caregiving stress. That experience informs how she helps clients manage grief, role shifts, and the emotional impact of illness. She draws on different approaches to match each person’s needs rather than using one fixed method.

Typical sessions focus on immediate problems people bring - coping with loss, calming anxious thoughts, repairing communication, or making a plan for next steps. Susan pairs practical exercises with reflective conversation so clients leave with tools to try between sessions.

She practices in Mississippi and holds a Master of Science and the LPC credential. Sessions are conducted in English, and she is open to working with international clients through the platform. To begin, readers are encouraged to use the site’s Start Therapy flow to match and schedule.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Susan integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into practical work. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that matter, which can help when coping with loss or illness. CBT breaks down unhelpful thoughts and patterns and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety and improve sleep.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep the work grounded in each person’s lived experience. That approach emphasizes listening, reflecting, and shaping goals together so the plan fits the client’s life and priorities. Finding the right mix of methods is collaborative - she helps people try approaches and adjust them based on what feels useful.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, avoid travel, or have shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also allows continuing care for people who live far from Mississippi or who are handling caregiving or medical constraints. Therapists will discuss how sessions can best fit routines and comfort levels during the initial matching and scheduling process.
