About Susan

Dr. Susan Sult is a Florida-based psychologist with 35 years of experience helping adults manage stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, and mood conditions. She approaches therapy as a practical partnership, working with each person to clarify goals and choose ways to make real changes. Her manner is straightforward and focused on what helps in daily life.

Dr. Sult draws from several evidence-based approaches to tailor sessions to a person’s needs. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to examine patterns of thinking and behavior. She brings elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotion regulation and coping skills. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps when relational patterns or attachment concerns are central.

Her experience spans a wide range of concerns, including trauma and abuse, addictions, bipolar and depressive conditions, intimacy-related and relationship issues, sleep and eating problems, and attentional difficulties such as ADHD. She also addresses areas like codependency, communication problems, and grief related to divorce and separation.

Dr. Sult describes therapy as an active process. She explains techniques, practices them together with clients, and tracks progress toward clear goals. She also pays attention to life context, including chronic illness, caregiving, and aging issues.

Outside of clinical work she enjoys horseback riding, quilting, cooking, and time with family and friends. Her office is based in Florida and she conducts sessions in English.

How her approaches translate to online work

Dr. Sult frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors through practical exercises and homework. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.

She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. These skills can help with mood swings, anger, and relationship conflicts. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is another part of her toolkit when attachment patterns and relationship emotions are central to the goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss your concerns, preferences, and goals and recommend which methods to try. That choice is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session formats before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people practice skills in their everyday routines and bring real-life examples to sessions. Licensed professionals tailor the pace and tools to what each person needs, including which approaches and exercises suit remote meetings best.
