As a licensed clinician in Maryland with 15 years of practice and credentials MD and LCPC, she emphasizes collaboration and respectful listening while helping people clarify goals, manage stress, and address mood and behavioral concerns.
Her orientation leans on cognitive behavioral techniques alongside a client-centered stance, encouraging clients to identify strengths and test new ways of thinking and behaving.

Sessions focus on practical strategies, skill building, and developing sustainable routines that fit each person’s circumstances. Clients can expect a respectful, strengths-based partnership that values their expertise about their own lives while offering structured tools to create change.
Dr. Stubbs helps people take small, achievable steps toward greater balance and clearer decision-making.
Practical approaches for online therapy and flexible care
Dr. Susie Stubbs draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, offering concrete tools and experiments to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and change daily habits. She also uses client-centered therapy, focusing on empathetic listening and partnership so clients feel heard while exploring their own answers and priorities.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked in the past, then tailor a plan that may combine skills training, behavioral experiments, and supportive reflection to fit the client's needs and values.
Online therapy with this practice is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and fit therapy into busy schedules. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care when life is hectic, allow for brief check-ins between longer sessions, and provide multiple ways to engage with a licensed professional based on comfort and logistics.
