About Susan
Susan Flynn is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) practicing in Illinois. She focuses on helping adults manage stress, anxiety, grief, and self-esteem concerns. Her work often centers on life changes and career or relationship shifts.
She aims to make therapy straightforward and practical for people feeling overwhelmed. Susan has six years of counseling experience working with adults in various life stages. She often helps people who feel isolated, are navigating midlife transitions, or are coping with family-of-origin patterns.
Background and approach
She also supports those dealing with workplace issues, parenting strain, and end-of-life concerns linked to hospice or aging relatives. Her style is collaborative and non-judgmental. Sessions typically involve listening closely, helping clients name what matters, and developing simple steps to change unhelpful patterns.
She uses approaches such as client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques to guide this process. Susan also draws on skills from dialectical behavior therapy and motivational interviewing when clients need emotion regulation tools or help finding motivation to make changes. The Gottman Method informs her thinking about relationship communication and problem-solving when that is relevant to a client's goals.
People who come to Susan can expect clear, practical strategies they can try between sessions. She encourages steady progress rather than quick fixes and tailors plans to each person's life and values. Therapy moves at a pace the client finds manageable.

Online support
Approaches and online care that fit your life
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's priorities and perspective. It involves open listening and helping people clarify their goals so they can decide what changes matter most. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical exercises to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful habits. The Gottman Method offers tools for improving communication and solving recurring relationship problems, with exercises that can be practiced outside sessions.Finding the right approach is collaborative. Susan will work with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. She can blend elements from different approaches and adjust the plan as progress is made so therapy stays focused and useful.
Online therapy lets people connect in ways that fit a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations when seeing visual cues matters. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging provide shorter, flexible moments of support between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule work breaks, manage childcare, or maintain consistency during life transitions.
