Susan Hull

Susan Hull is a licensed independent social worker with 17 years of experience helping adults through hard moments. She focuses on clear, practical support for people facing anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, and stress. Susan aims to create a straightforward, caring space where clients can talk through what matters most to them.

She uses approaches that encourage understanding how relationships and past wounds shape current feelings. Sessions often include work on attachment patterns, thinking habits, and building day-to-day coping skills. That can look like learning tools to steady strong emotions, practicing new ways to talk about needs, or trying short exercises to interrupt anxious thinking.

Susan has a background supporting people with caregiver stress, cancer-related issues, and challenges tied to military or first responder experiences. She also helps people facing complicated grief, hospice and end-of-life counseling concerns, and struggles with codependency or abandonment. Her experience includes addressing mood disorders, panic, and the effects of trauma and abuse.

Her style blends listening with active problem-solving. She meets people where they are and focuses on small, useful changes that fit daily life. Clients can expect a calm, respectful process that balances compassion with practical steps.

Based in Ohio, Susan holds an LISW and works in English. To begin, she guides people through a brief intake and scheduling process so therapy can align with personal goals and timing.

How attachment work and CBT translate to online care

Susan often draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current reactions. That approach helps people notice patterns in closeness, trust, and emotion so they can try different ways of relating and feeling safer in relationships.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioral changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, panic, low mood, and routines that get in the way of daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. That means adjusting techniques and pacing as therapy unfolds rather than sticking to a single plan.

If you want online sessions, please confirm what formats are available before booking. The practical benefits of online therapy can include easier scheduling around work or caregiving, fewer travel demands, and the ability to fit brief check-ins into a busy day. Some people find phone sessions use less bandwidth and feel simpler, while others prefer video to practice interpersonal skills on camera. The therapist can discuss what will fit everyday life and make therapy useful for you.
