About Susan
Susan Mullen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with 18 years of experience. She focuses on practical, down-to-earth help for people dealing with stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, and low self-esteem. Her work also covers grief, career concerns, and compassion fatigue in everyday life.
Susan uses a collaborative style. She listens first, then helps people set clear, manageable goals. Sessions often include straightforward tools for coping and communication, not long lectures or jargon.
Background and approach
Parents find the pace practical and focused on what works at home. Her background includes supporting caregivers and people managing neurodevelopmental differences such as autism spectrum conditions and intellectual disability. She also helps with life transitions and finding direction in work and purpose.
That range means she draws on different strategies to match each person’s situation. Susan blends client-centered work with approaches that target unhelpful thoughts and habits. That combination helps people reduce anxiety, handle stress, and make small changes that add up.
She encourages steady progress over time rather than quick fixes. People who choose her can expect a warm, goal-focused relationship. Appointments are conversational and practical, with tools to try between sessions.
The aim is clearer thinking, better daily coping, and stronger communication skills.

How these approaches translate to online therapy
Susan often uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. That approach helps people feel heard and steer sessions toward real concerns like parenting stress or self-esteem issues.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a practical method that looks at thoughts and behaviors. CBT offers concrete exercises to test unhelpful beliefs, reduce anxiety, and build new coping habits that can be practiced between sessions.
Choosing an approach is a team effort. Susan works with each person to identify goals and preferences, then adjusts methods as needed. She checks in regularly to see what’s working and what needs to change, so the process stays collaborative.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different rhythms of life. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer dialogue. Phone sessions can be a quicker check-in or a solution when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief updates, coaching-style guidance, or continuing a conversation between appointments. These options make it easier to schedule support around work, family, and caregiving responsibilities.
