About Susan

Dr. Susan Sult is a Florida psychologist with decades of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, and relationship strain. She writes plainly and works with individuals who want clear steps for change. Her first goal is to make the process understandable and feasible for someone juggling life and responsibilities.

Dr. Sult brings 35 years of practice as a FL Psychologist (PY3854). She uses straightforward, practical methods and treats a wide range of concerns, including addictions, bipolar disorder, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD, and issues around intimacy and family life. She also addresses more specific areas such as abandonment, attachment problems, chronic illness and pain, and dissociation.

Her approach emphasizes collaboration. She explains techniques, helps clients set realistic goals, and teaches skills they can use between sessions. She draws from cognitive behavioral ideas, dialectical behavior methods, emotionally focused work, mindfulness practices, and solution-focused strategies to tailor care to each person's needs.

Sessions are described as active and goal-oriented rather than only conversational. She aims to help people identify what they want to change and learn concrete tools to get there. Dr. Sult also supports people dealing with complicated life transitions like divorce, blended family concerns, or the effects of serious medical issues.

Outside of her clinical work she enjoys horseback riding, quilting, and cooking, and values time with family and friends. To begin, readers should use the site's Start Therapy button and follow the matching steps to schedule according to therapist availability.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Dr. Sult commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and emotionally focused ideas. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. Dialectical behavior therapy centers on building emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills for intense emotions and relationship strain. Emotionally focused work helps people notice and shift emotional patterns that get in the way of connection and healing, which can be useful for trauma-related problems and relationship concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each client about their goals, needs, and what feels comfortable. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them over time to fit how the client responds and what progress is made.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats offered before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Some formats may also be easier when camera use or bandwidth is limited. Talk with the therapist or the matching process to learn which session types are available and what will work best for your routine.
