About Susan
Susan Rair Krug is a licensed clinical social worker who brings twenty years of experience to sessions. She works with people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, anger, and low self-esteem. She speaks plainly and focuses on helping each person understand their story and use their strengths to move forward.
Susan uses practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact.
Background and approach
She also draws on client-centered methods that keep the person’s needs and goals at the center of sessions. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques are used when people want clear steps and short-term goals. Sessions are offered in English and are conducted from Ohio.
Susan holds an LCSW and an LISW, with license numbers on file for Ohio and New Hampshire as noted in her background. Her approach emphasizes skill building and conversation tailored to how each person learns. People who come to Susan often want straightforward strategies they can use between sessions.
She helps identify problem areas, sets manageable goals, and practices skills in session. Feedback and small experiments are common parts of the work. The aim is to collaborate on goals, whether that means reducing panic attacks, coping with workplace stress, or addressing problematic substance use.
Susan guides the process and supports people as they try new ways of thinking and acting.
Approaches that translate to online sessions
Susan uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people track thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and try small changes that can shift mood and reactions. CBT is often used for anxiety, panic, mood concerns, and unhelpful thinking patterns.She also practices client-centered therapy, which means conversations are guided by the person’s goals and pace. This approach is about listening closely and shaping goals together so the work fits how the person learns and grows.
Motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods are used when someone wants to build momentum or set clear next steps. These techniques help people identify their own reasons for change and pick achievable goals to practice between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Plans can shift as progress is made so the approach stays useful.
Online therapy offers flexibility by allowing video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video works well for longer conversation and skill practice. Phone can be simpler for lower bandwidth or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, short coaching-style support, or when written reflection helps. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue work between sessions.
