About Susan
Susan Jordan-Kertzner is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, career transitions, and relationship struggles. She also supports clients facing grief, trauma and abuse, ADHD, and questions of life purpose. Her style is warm and interactive, and she centers respect and collaboration in sessions.
Susan draws on a mix of approaches to meet practical needs. She uses cognitive behavioral ideas to spot and change unhelpful thinking.
Background and approach
She incorporates acceptance and mindfulness practices to reduce struggle with difficult emotions. Attachment-focused ideas guide work on closeness and trust in relationships. Her background includes about 19 years of clinical experience as an LPC in Colorado.
She also offers coaching skills for people wanting focused work on career or life-direction goals. That combination means sessions can shift between therapeutic processing and concrete skill-building. In a typical session she listens carefully, then helps set small, doable steps to practice between meetings.
She emphasizes skills people can use right away - breathing or grounding for panic, communication tools for heated moments, and planning strategies for career moves. Goals and pace are set together. Susan offers multiple ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
She works in English and accepts international clients. Plans are delivered through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches and online options that fit your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing and making room for difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match your values. It can help when anxiety, avoidance, or life transitions get in the way of what matters most.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify patterns of thinking that increase distress and then practice new behaviors to change outcomes. It is useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and situations where practical coping skills are needed.
Susan treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and how they respond to different ways of working, then tailor sessions to fit. That might mean combining ACT and CBT techniques, or adding attachment-focused work for relationship concerns.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging makes it easier to fit regular work into a busy life. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversations and visual cues. Phone calls can be an easier option when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, skill coaching, or when a shorter touchpoint helps get through a tough moment. These options support flexible, ongoing care that can be adjusted as needs change.
