Dr. Susie Stubbs, LCPC

Dr. Susie Stubbs is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Maryland with 15 years of experience. She centers therapy on each person's strengths and priorities, and she encourages practical steps toward clearer goals and better daily functioning.

She uses a client-centered stance that treats the person as the expert in their own life. That means sessions focus on what matters most to the client and build on existing strengths. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and offers concrete tools to shift unhelpful patterns.

Her practice addresses a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, ADHD, bipolar, relationship and intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, parenting, sleep and eating problems, anger, career challenges, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people navigating life changes and those seeking executive or professional coaching.

In sessions she listens for practical changes that can make life more manageable. Clients work on small, achievable steps and thinking habits that improve mood and functioning. The pace is collaborative and guided by the client's goals.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability. The service uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and session cost varies with location and scheduling.

Client-centered and CBT approaches for online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the client says matters most. The therapist acknowledges the person's perspective and helps them find their own solutions rather than prescribing steps. This approach can be helpful for people who need a steady, respectful space to clarify priorities and make changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical tools to shift unhelpful patterns. CBT often includes simple exercises and short experiments clients can try between sessions to see what makes a difference for anxiety, mood, sleep, or behavior changes.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan as progress is made. That gives clients a chance to shape the work and choose what feels most useful.

Confirm the available session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit regular appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when needed. It can also support people who want consistent weekly work or occasional coaching-style sessions tied to work and career challenges.
