Susannah Davis

Susannah Davis is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) based in Vermont. She has worked in mental health and school counseling for over 35 years and has spent the last ten years in private practice. Her style is warm and relational, with an emphasis on creating a calm, non-judgmental space where people can talk about what matters to them.

She works with adolescents and adults on a range of concerns, including relationships, grief, self-esteem, career stress, and eating and food-related issues. She also addresses trauma, sleep problems, parenting challenges, anger, and ADHD. Sessions begin by identifying the issues a person wants to address and choosing practical strategies together.

Susannah draws on a mix of evidence-based therapeutic techniques and counseling skills developed across school settings, residential work, therapeutic foster care, and art therapy facilitation. She uses tools from cognitive and behavioral approaches, mindfulness, and body-focused methods to match the client’s needs. She explains approaches plainly and helps people pick what fits.

In therapy she focuses on building coping skills, improving communication, and reducing overwhelming emotions. Work may include skills practice, reflective conversation, and gentle body-awareness exercises. The therapist and client review progress and adapt the plan over time.

Susannah offers services in English and is available to international clients. She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire to begin and schedules sessions according to availability.

How therapy approaches translate to online sessions

Susannah often uses cognitive and behavioral approaches to help people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. These methods are practical and focus on skills like managing worry, improving sleep routines, and shifting patterns that affect eating and body image.

She also integrates mindfulness and somatic-informed techniques to help people notice physical responses to stress and learn simple body-awareness exercises. These practices can reduce reactivity and support calmer responses to triggers such as panic or grief.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to choose approaches that match each person’s goals, preferences, and everyday demands. Plans are reviewed and adjusted over time so therapy stays useful and relevant.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule and reduce travel time. Some people prefer shorter check-ins by phone or fewer on-camera sessions to fit work breaks or caregiving routines. Discuss format and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire so sessions fit into your life.
