About Susie
Dr. Susie Stubbs brings 15 years of clinical experience to her work in Maryland. She is an MD and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC).
She focuses on practical support for stress, anxiety, career concerns, parenting, and related life challenges. She uses a straightforward, collaborative style. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and builds on existing strengths.
Sessions are aimed at clear goals such as coping with change, improving sleep or managing anger rather than vague promises.
Background and approach
Her background includes executive and professional coaching alongside traditional counseling work. That blend helps when someone needs both skill-building and space to talk through feelings. She often combines problem-focused exercises with open conversation about values and choices.
Dr. Stubbs commonly helps with mood concerns such as depression and bipolar symptoms, attention challenges like ADHD, and issues tied to trauma, grief, or addictions. She also supports people dealing with relationship strain, intimacy questions, and LGBT-related matters.
Practical tools are a regular part of sessions. Cognitive behavioral techniques help identify unhelpful thoughts and change behavior. Client-centered discussion gives room to reflect and make decisions that fit each person's life.
Parents looking for help juggling responsibilities, stress, and sleep or eating issues will find a pragmatic approach focused on small, workable changes. She encourages steady progress and checks in on what actually makes life easier.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Dr. Stubbs uses client-centered therapy to put the person's perspective first, creating space to talk through choices and values. That approach helps people clarify what matters and find their own solutions. She also applies cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood.Finding the right approach is a collaborative step. She will work with each person to decide whether client-centered conversation, CBT exercises, or a mix of both fits their goals and day-to-day needs. The plan can change over time as goals shift and progress is reviewed.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls are useful for full sessions that include expressive work and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text messaging suit brief updates, homework support, or people who prefer typing. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and different routines.
