Susan Serge

Susan Serge is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wyoming with 12 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, depression, and compassion fatigue. Susan also helps people dealing with communication problems, guilt and shame, questions about life purpose, self-love, and social anxiety or phobia.

She earned a Master of Arts in Community Counseling with an adult emphasis from Slippery Rock University. Her background includes work in higher education, adoption networks, community mental health, and substance abuse recovery programs. She has provided individual and group therapy and has taken roles in crisis intervention and behavioral health administration.

Susan relies on cognitive behavioral approaches as a central part of her work. She has additional experience with suicide prevention and postvention support, and she has provided training in related areas. In sessions she focuses on practical steps people can try and clear ways to track progress over time.

Her experience includes both direct clinical work and leadership in student affairs and behavioral health settings. This gives her familiarity with system-level issues and everyday life stressors that affect adults. She aims to help people sort through what matters and test small changes that fit their routines.

Outside of work she spends time traveling, cooking, and with her husband, teenage daughter, and two dogs. She describes her counseling work as tied to her faith and a long-term commitment to helping others recover functioning and manage difficult feelings.

Evidence-based approaches for life direction and distress

Many of Susan's core methods center on cognitive behavioral techniques. Cognitive behavioral approaches look at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together and teach practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. They are often used for anxiety, depression, and habit changes such as addiction recovery.

She also draws on suicide prevention and postvention practices to support safety planning and to address crisis-related concerns when they arise. These approaches focus on clear risk assessment, practical coping strategies, and planning steps to reduce immediate danger.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That process can include trying different methods and tracking what helps most over a few sessions.

Confirm the specific session options before booking because the original biography does not list formats. Many people find online sessions useful for fitting counseling into a busy life, keeping appointments during travel, or choosing shorter check-ins when time is limited. Ask about the available formats so sessions can be arranged to match daily routines and practical constraints.
