About Susan
Susan King is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with seven years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting concerns, and relationship struggles. Her approach is warm and relational, geared toward parents and individuals trying to make real changes in daily life.
Susan uses straightforward conversations to identify patterns that cause pain. She helps people notice what keeps repeating in relationships and family lives.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on small, doable steps that reduce overwhelm and build coping skills. She draws on approaches that center emotional connection and thought patterns. That can mean looking at attachment dynamics, practicing skills from cognitive behavioral approaches, or using emotion-focused work to name and process difficult feelings.
The goal is clearer communication and more reliable ways of responding to stress. Susan holds an LMFT license and has worked across different settings and life transitions. She speaks English and is based in Michigan.
Her experience includes supporting people through addiction, trauma and abuse, midlife changes, career stress, and difficulties with intimacy and self-esteem. In sessions she emphasizes collaboration - clients' goals guide the work. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules.
To start, someone completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Attachment-based work looks at how past relationship patterns shape current reactions. It helps people understand how they relate to partners and family and can reduce reactivity in tense moments. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on how thoughts influence feelings and behaviors and offers concrete tools to shift unhelpful thinking and routine responses.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then tailor sessions as needs change. That might mean practicing new communication skills one week and addressing strong emotions the next.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into daily life. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and reading nonverbal cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or to fit a break at work. Live chat and text messaging can be used for brief check-ins, homework support, or when someone prefers writing over talking. These options help people maintain continuity of care and make it easier to follow through on changes between sessions.
