About Susan
Susan Rair Krug brings two decades of clinical experience to her work, blending practical skill building with a collaborative therapeutic stance.
Background and approach
She is licensed as an LCSW and LISW and practices from Ohio, drawing on evidence-based strategies to help people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, anger, and self-esteem concerns. Her approach emphasizes understanding how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and learning skills to shift patterns that interfere with daily life.
In sessions she uses a mix of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered listening, mindfulness techniques, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies to tailor support to each person’s goals. She helps clients identify problem areas, recognize strengths, and practice new ways of coping.
Services are offered through online formats including video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging, with scheduling aligned to therapist availability and a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Susan commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and practice concrete strategies to change behaviors and emotions; this approach is well suited to addressing anxiety, depression, panic, and mood-related concerns. She also incorporates Mindfulness Therapy to build present-moment awareness and stress management skills, which can reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation in daily life. Additionally, Motivational Interviewing is used when readiness for change and substance use concerns are part of the work, guiding clients through ambivalence toward clearer goals.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and she works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and learning preferences. That collaborative planning helps shape sessions that feel practical and relevant to the client’s circumstances.
Online therapy with Susan is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care while practicing new skills between sessions, and they allow people to access licensed professionals from their own location.
