About Susan
Dr. Susan Lieberman uses a practical, thought-focused approach to help people change unhelpful thinking and daily habits. She combines clear strategies with steady support to address stress, anxiety, depression, and related challenges. Dr. Susan Lieberman holds the KS Psychologist LP 1071 credential and brings 24 years of experience in clinical practice in Kansas.
Her work often centers on identifying patterns that keep people stuck, then testing simple alternatives. She uses cognitive behavioral ideas to spot thinking traps and acceptance-based tools to build tolerance for difficult feelings. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused, with concrete steps to try between meetings.
She has a long history of helping people facing mood disorders, ADHD, addiction concerns, trauma and grief, and relationship and intimacy-related issues. Dr. Lieberman also supports those coping with chronic illness, caregiver stress, parenting strain, and major life changes. She pays attention to attachment and abandonment concerns that affect how people connect with others.
Her approach adapts to each person's needs. She blends client-centered listening with skills-based methods such as DBT strategies for emotion regulation when helpful. The emphasis is on practical tools that fit daily life and build resilience over time.
Many clients seek help for work stress, sleep problems, or low self-esteem, and leave with clearer routines and thought patterns that feel more manageable. If a visitor wants to get started, they complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.

How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting pulled into them, then committing to actions that match personal values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and making changes that matter in daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical steps to shift unhelpful patterns. It is useful for stress, sleep problems, mood symptoms, and managing ADHD-related routines.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. That may mean trying CBT tools for a few weeks, then adding ACT or attachment-focused ideas if needed. The plan adjusts based on progress and what feels most useful.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They can also let someone join from a quieter place when scheduling around work or caregiving. Licensed professionals tailor session pacing and homework to what works in the client's everyday life, helping new habits stick without overloading a routine.
