Susan Hancock, LPC

Susan Hancock is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and relationship concerns. She also supports people dealing with caregiver strain, chronic illness or pain, divorce and separation, feelings of guilt or shame, isolation, and women's issues. Susan writes in plain language and aims to make therapy feel approachable for first-time clients.

She uses straightforward talk and practical planning to address problems. Sessions focus on identifying what matters to the client and building realistic steps to reach those goals. Susan emphasizes clear, doable strategies rather than jargon or overly technical explanations.

Susan has eight years of clinical experience and a master’s degree in Counseling. She notes personal experience with autism through parenting, which informs her perspective on caregiver concerns and neurodivergence. That background contributes to her familiarity with challenges faced by caregivers and people managing long-term conditions.

In sessions she prioritizes a relaxed and trusting atmosphere. Her style is conversational and collaborative so clients can feel comfortable sharing what’s hard for them. The work tends to be action-oriented, with follow-up steps to practice between meetings.

People seeking support for caregiver stress, relationship strain, mood concerns, or life transitions may find her approach practical and accessible. Interested readers should confirm current session options before booking to make sure the format meets their needs.

Approaches that guide online work

Evidence-based techniques often focus on practical skills and problem-solving. For example, cognitive strategies help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different, more useful ways of thinking. These techniques are commonly used for anxiety and depression and aim to reduce distress by changing thought patterns and small behaviors.

Another common approach centers on emotion and behavior regulation. This involves learning ways to manage strong feelings, improving communication, and trying small behavioral changes to reduce conflict or overwhelm. This kind of work can be useful for anger, relationship tension, and stress linked to caregiving or chronic illness.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify goals and try approaches that fit the client's needs and preferences. That means adapting techniques over time based on what is helpful.

Confirm current session options before booking, as the profile does not specify formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing meetings from different locations. It can also allow shorter check-ins or sessions that suit work breaks and provide continuity of care when in-person visits are difficult to arrange.
