Susan Hancock

Susan Hancock is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who helps people feeling lonely, overwhelmed, or stuck. She meets people where they are and focuses on practical steps to reduce isolation and improve daily life. Susan uses straightforward language and aims to make the first conversations easy to manage.

She earned a master’s degree in Counseling and brings eight years of experience to her work. Her approach centers on identifying the most pressing issues and building a realistic plan that fits each person’s schedule and goals. That plan can include coping strategies for anxiety, ways to manage anger, and steps to lift low mood.

Susan has worked with people navigating divorce and separation and those dealing with family blending challenges. She also has personal and professional experience supporting caregivers and people impacted by chronic illness or disability. Her background includes extensive familiarity with autism through raising two adult sons on the spectrum, which informs how she supports autism caregivers.

Sessions focus on clear, doable goals rather than clinical jargon. Susan aims to create a trusting space where clients can talk openly and try practical tools between sessions. She emphasizes self-compassion and building habits that reduce isolation over time.

People often come to Susan for help with stress, relationships, guilt, and finding more self-love. She works to make therapy feel like a conversation and a plan you can follow in everyday life.

Evidence-based approaches and making them work online

Many of Susan's methods focus on practical, evidence-based techniques that teach coping skills and real-world changes. One common approach is skills-based work that breaks down stress and anxiety into manageable steps, such as breathing, pacing activities, and small behavior changes to reduce worry and isolation. Another approach involves processing anger and difficult emotions through structured problem-solving and behavioral strategies to help people respond differently in heated moments.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Susan works with each person to identify which techniques fit their needs and daily life, then adjusts the plan as progress is made. The aim is to pick strategies that feel doable and relevant, not to follow a single method rigidly.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and keep momentum between meetings. It can reduce travel time, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and let people meet from wherever they are in the state. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are available, and Susan will help you choose what best supports your goals and schedule.
