About me

Hello, my name is Susan. I am a licensed mental health counselor in Florida, where I have worked in the mental health community for 20 years. I have experience helping a wide range of clients and families with a wide variety of issues to include anxiety, depression, grief, relationship issues and trauma of abuse, Bipolar Disorder and ADHD.

As a therapist, I prefer to use a client-centered approach to treatment because I believe clients need to be heard and listened to at a deep level. This allows them to hear themselves undeniable them to resolve their pain and reach of real healing. I am able to effectively and seamlessly incorporate cognitive behavior therapy, motivational interviewing, solution-based therapy, grief therapy, parenting education throughout our sessions, based on your goals. Your unique needs are of the highest importance in the therapy relationship. I will keep us focused on practical solutions and lasting change.

You are brave to reach out for help! You have taken the right first step to healing. I welcome the opportunity to work with you. I would be honored to be your guide through your healing process.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Susan Phillips. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.

Susan's follow ups before and after sessions are so compassionate and personal. It lets me know that she really cares about me.

Susan is a wonderful therapist. She's a great listener and gives good advice. Susan has given me some exercises to work through some of the grief that I'm holding onto. These exercises are helpful.
I would recommend Susan as a therapist

Susan has been such a blessing to me! I started with her in December of 2025 and it was the best decision ever! She is the 2nd therapist I have had and she understands me like no other! I love the way she listens and gently helps me reflect while offering sound advice. I feel safe with her and because of that I can be my true, authentic, unmasked self. She makes me want to be transparent and share everything with her: the good, the bad and the ugly! That’s the whole point of therapy, right? To get the help you need, and the only way for that to happen is to tell it all. I am so grateful for her and would recommend her to everyone. I already have done just that! Thank you, Susan!❤️🙏🏾

Working with Susan for over 2 years has enriched my life with actual tools that have lowered my anxiety and helped me grow in ways I’ve not grown with other therapists. I am grateful for her expertise!
