Rev. Susan Sciarratta

Rev. Susan Sciarratta is a licensed professional counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and relationship struggles. She brings a calm, respectful presence to sessions and focuses on practical steps to cope with life changes. Her background includes support for parenting stress, compassion fatigue, and caregiver challenges, and she also addresses issues like self-esteem, anger, and career concerns.

Susan trained as a professional engineer before moving into counseling, and she draws on that practical problem-solving mindset in her work. She has 12 years of counseling experience and holds the LPC credential, licensed in Pennsylvania. In conversation she listens for what matters most to the client and tailors each session to those needs.

In her approach she aims to make goals concrete. That might mean breaking a worry into smaller, manageable steps or practicing ways to handle difficult conversations. She also supports people facing aging, geriatric concerns, and hospice and end-of-life counseling matters, helping them talk through decisions and emotional strain.

Sessions are respectful and focused on the next right step for each person. She works with issues like attachment, family communication, fertility concerns, and feelings of isolation. Her style is compassionate and straightforward, helping clients build confidence and find clearer direction.

For people dealing with midlife transitions, postpartum depression, or trauma and abuse, she offers steady support and practical coping tools. Susan encourages clients to name small wins and to move at a pace that feels manageable.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online

Rev. Susan Sciarratta uses practical, evidence-based techniques that break big problems into manageable steps. One approach focuses on building skills to manage anxiety and stress through small, repeatable actions that reduce overwhelm and increase daily functioning. Another approach centers on grief and end-of-life conversations, helping people process loss, clarify priorities, and make decisions that reflect their values.

Finding the right method is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that fit their goals and comfort. That plan can change over time as needs shift, and she adjusts the focus based on what’s helping most.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm which session formats she currently offers before scheduling. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, such as shorter check-ins during a lunch break or regular sessions without commuting. Remote sessions also let people include distant caregivers in planning conversations when needed. The aim is to make therapy practical and accessible while matching the approach to the client’s needs.
