About Susana
Susana (Susie) Hernandez helps adults and teens who are navigating stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, and addiction find clearer direction and greater resilience.
Background and approach
She prioritizes building a collaborative, trusting connection with each person she meets, believing that a strong therapeutic relationship creates the conditions for meaningful change and deeper healing. Susie draws on five years of clinical experience and works from a strengths-based perspective that encourages identity, belonging, and integration.
Her practice blends practical, evidence-informed techniques with an emphasis on personal values and connection. Susie often incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based work, DBT skills, and client-centered approaches to tailor care to each client’s needs.
She supports concerns that range from grief and parenting struggles to intimacy issues, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and complex family dynamics. Susie also respects the role of faith and spirituality when clients choose to include those aspects in therapy.
Licensed as an LPC in Texas (TX LPC 83465), Susie offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. Outside of work she enjoys time with family, exercise at the park or gym, and experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online care
Susie frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavioral patterns; this approach is practical for anxiety, depression, and problem-solving around relationships and daily functioning. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to support people in clarifying values, increasing psychological flexibility, and taking committed action toward meaningful goals. Attachment-Based Therapy is used when relational patterns and connection needs are central, helping clients explore how early bonds shape present-day interactions and intimacy.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Susie works together with each client to understand their goals, preferences, and life context, adapting techniques and pacing as the relationship develops. She aims to match methods to what will be most helpful rather than prescribing a single modality up front.
Online therapy with Susie is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, maintain continuity during transitions, and access therapeutic support from varied locations. Licensed professionals can use these options to deliver the same active, skills-based work and reflective exploration that guide in-person care.
