Susan Ramsey-French, LCSW

Susan Ramsey-French is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Florida who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and challenges with self-esteem. She focuses on everyday thoughts and habits that shape feelings and behavior. Her style is practical and person-centered, with an emphasis on clear steps people can use between sessions.

She uses approaches such as client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, EMDR, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to tailor care to each person. Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, building coping skills, and addressing past wounds that affect day-to-day life. The goal is steady, manageable change rather than quick fixes.

With eight years of experience, Susan draws on a trauma-informed perspective to help people work through painful memories and overwhelming emotions. She aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can say what’s hard and try new ways of coping. Treatment plans are practical and adapt to the person’s pace.

Susan also addresses relationship and family stress, codependency, attachment and abandonment concerns, and issues like body image or dissociation. She works collaboratively to set goals and measure progress in ways that make sense to each person.

To begin, people complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability. Sessions operate on a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and costs vary by location and therapist availability.

Approaches that shape online work

Susan uses client-centered methods to follow what matters most to the person. That approach focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping people clarify their goals so sessions feel relevant and respectful.

She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts and habits influence mood and behavior. CBT helps break patterns of unhelpful thinking and builds practical coping skills for anxiety, depression, and stress.

EMDR is included in her practice for people dealing with traumatic memories. It involves structured processing of distressing memories to reduce their emotional impact and help people move forward.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels comfortable, then recommend a mix of methods. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress unfolds.

Confirm current session formats before booking, as specific online options are not listed here. Many people find online sessions helpful for fitting therapy into a busy week, keeping check-ins brief, and working from quieter surroundings. Talk with the therapist during the intake process to choose a session pattern that fits everyday life and goals.
