About Susan
Susan Jordan-Kertzner is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with 19 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and career uncertainty.
Background and approach
She also supports those dealing with parenting challenges, ADHD, grief, trauma, and questions about life purpose. Susan takes a warm, respectful, and interactive approach in sessions.
She listens first, then works with each person to set clear, practical goals. Sessions focus on real-life steps people can take between meetings to reduce anxiety, improve communication, and regain a sense of control.
Her approach draws on several evidence-based methods. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters most and act in line with those values.
Cognitive Behavioral techniques are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes. Attachment-based ideas help explore patterns that affect closeness and trust.
Susan also integrates client-centered principles, offering empathy and collaboration as clients decide the pace and focus of work. Over nearly two decades she has guided people through life transitions, parenting stress, caregiver strain, codependency, and midlife questions.
People who work with Susan can expect practical tools, reflective conversation, and support building skills that carry into daily life. She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients when logistics allow.
Her practice includes video calls, phone, live chat, and text messaging formats. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session based on therapist availability.
Integrating approach and online care for flexible support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small committed steps toward those values while learning to sit with difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting patterns of thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and testing simple changes to see what helps. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current trust and communication and offers ways to build more stable connection habits.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Susan will collaborate with clients to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. That means trying strategies together, reviewing what helps, and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for people with busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when schedules or distance make in-person visits hard. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let clients send reflections or get brief support between sessions. These options make it easier to use therapy consistently and fit it into real life.
