About Susan
Dr. Susan Sult is a Florida psychologist with 35 years of experience who helps people facing grief, serious illness, stress, and relationship strain. She works with adults coping with anxiety, depression, addiction, bipolar challenges, and trauma. Her approach is collaborative and practical, aimed at clear steps people can use between sessions.
Dr. Sult uses straightforward therapies such as cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior skills, and emotionally focused work to address strong emotions and difficult patterns. She explains techniques plainly and shows how to apply them in day-to-day life. Sessions focus on concrete tools for sleep, mood, coping with chronic illness, and managing anger or relationship conflict.
Over three decades in practice in Florida, she has supported people through cancer, chronic pain and illness, grief, dissociation, and parenting stresses. Her work also touches on intimacy-related issues, body image, and attachment or abandonment concerns. She aims to help people rebuild routines and reconnect with what matters to them.
She describes therapy as a partnership: she listens, offers clear options, and helps clients choose what fits their goals. Treatment plans are adjusted as needs change, with an emphasis on skills that can be practiced outside sessions. Dr. Sult also balances structured problem-solving with attention to feelings and relationship dynamics.
Outside of work she enjoys horseback riding, quilting, and cooking, and values time with family and friends.

How evidence-based methods translate to online care
CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It teaches specific skills for managing anxiety, low mood, sleep problems, and unhelpful habits. DBT, or dialectical behavior therapy, emphasizes emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. It can help with strong emotions, self-harm urges, and relationship conflict. Emotionally-Focused Therapy spotlights how people connect in relationships and helps rewrite negative interaction patterns to improve closeness and trust.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, try approaches that fit those goals, and adjust strategies as progress is made. This collaborative process helps make sure treatment matches what matters most to the client.
