About Susan

Susan Ramsey-French is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Florida who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, relationship struggles, and low self-esteem. She draws on eight years of experience to listen carefully and respond to what each person needs in the moment.

Susan takes a direct and compassionate approach. She focuses on what is happening now and on practical steps that can reduce distress. Sessions are conversational and collaborative, with attention to the emotions and patterns that keep problems going.

Her work often includes trauma-focused tools alongside skills for managing anxiety and mood. She uses techniques that help people process painful memories and change unhelpful thinking and behavior. This combination aims to ease symptoms and improve day-to-day coping.

Susan also supports people dealing with family problems, attachment and abandonment concerns, codependency, body image, and challenges that come after disaster or loss. She pays attention to how worry, anger, and relationship patterns show up in ordinary life and in stressful moments.

People who choose Susan can expect straightforward goals, clear suggestions for practice between sessions, and check-ins about what’s working. She helps clients build coping skills, strengthen self-regard, and move toward clearer choices about their lives.

How her approaches guide online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person's experience and creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space. It helps when someone needs to feel heard and to make their own choices about change.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. It teaches practical skills for reducing anxiety and depressive symptoms and for changing unhelpful patterns.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, often called EMDR, is used to help people process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity. It can be helpful for trauma-related symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Susan will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that fit the client's needs. The process is collaborative and adjusted over time based on what helps most.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists can guide practical exercises, teach coping skills, and work through traumatic memories using the approaches described above.
