About Susan
Susan Beard is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Mississippi with 15 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship strain, addictions, trauma, and challenges with self-esteem and life changes. She also supports concerns related to eating and sleeping, parenting stress, grief, and intimacy-related issues.
Susan uses clear, practical ways to work through problems. She draws on approaches such as Gottman Method work for relationship patterns, attachment-based ideas about how bonds affect behavior, and cognitive-behavioral tools to change unhelpful thoughts and habits.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on small, doable steps clients can try between meetings. Her style is direct and collaborative. She listens without judgment and helps clients set goals that feel relevant to daily life.
Conversations move at the client’s pace and focus on what is most pressing in the moment. Susan has worked with a wide range of concerns including ADHD, bipolar and mood disorders, PTSD and dissociation, substance and process addictions, gender dysphoria, intellectual disability, and issues experienced by veterans. She integrates elements from DBT and EMDR when they fit the client’s needs.
Therapy is offered through video, phone, live chat, and text messaging. New clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on therapist availability. Rates vary with location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

Online support
How her approaches translate to online work
Gottman Method work helps identify patterns that harm relationships and teaches concrete skills for better communication and conflict management. It is useful for couples or partners who want clearer routines and fewer damaging cycles. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current reactions and helps people build more supported ways of relating to others and themselves.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist discusses goals, hears what has helped or not helped before, and recommends methods to try together. Clients and therapist check progress and adjust techniques based on what works for the client’s needs and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skill practice and deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Chat and text messaging provide brief, on-the-go support or written reflections between sessions, which can help with homework and skill reminders.
