About Susan

Susan Mount is an LPC based in Colorado with 22 years of clinical experience working across child welfare, residential treatment, and addiction settings.

Background and approach

She has provided counseling to many children, young adults, and families in school and personal sectors, and has supported people coping with emotional and physical abuse, eating disorders, depression, learning concerns, and relationship struggles. Her history includes work in orphanages and treatment centers where she focused on building practical skills and safer relational patterns.

Her approach blends cognitive behavioral methods with attachment-based and client-centered perspectives, aiming to help clients identify strengths, shift unhelpful thoughts, and strengthen connections with others. Sessions are described as warm, interactive, and compassionate while emphasizing resilience and practical tools.

Susan often works with issues such as anxiety, trauma, grief, ADHD, addiction, and challenges around self-esteem and parenting. She frames therapy as a collaborative process that honors each person’s authenticity and life goals.

Prospective clients can expect a steady, strength-based orientation that encourages curiosity, growth, and meaningful change over time.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape feelings and behavior, helping people rebuild trust and improve emotional connections in relationships. It can be useful for clients navigating attachment issues, codependency, or patterns that affect intimacy and family life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through structured exercises and practical skills. It is often applied to anxiety, depression, trauma-related symptoms, and problems with self-esteem or coping with life changes.

Susan approaches online work collaboratively, using these methods alongside client-centered conversation to tailor the approach to each person’s needs and goals. She helps clients explore which combination of strategies fits their preferences and circumstances, and adjusts treatment as understanding deepens.

Online sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent care from Colorado or internationally and support continuity of treatment when in-person visits are difficult.
