About Susan
Dr. Susan Lieberman is a licensed psychologist with 24 years of clinical experience in Kansas.
Background and approach
She focuses on helping people manage depression, anxiety, stress, and major life changes in a calm, straightforward way. Her approach is warm and collaborative, aimed at practical skills people can use right away.
She draws on several evidence-informed methods to match what each person needs. That can mean using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice and change unhelpful thought patterns.
It can also mean Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help someone clarify values and take meaningful action despite hard feelings. Relationship and attachment concerns are also part of her work.
She uses Attachment-Based ideas and the Gottman Method to help people understand patterns in their close relationships and improve communication. Sessions focus on learning small, actionable habits that reduce conflict and increase connection.
Dr. Lieberman also supports people facing complex situations such as chronic illness, caregiving stress, grief, addiction, ADHD, and trauma.
She helps clients break problems into manageable steps and build routines that fit real life. The goal is steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Appointments are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. People who choose to work with her typically create clear goals together and track small wins over time.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Dr. Lieberman often blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people identify what matters to them and take action even when emotions are difficult. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to change feelings and routines.She also uses Attachment-Based ideas and the Gottman Method to address relationship patterns. Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds shape current reactions. The Gottman Method offers practical communication tools and small behavior changes to reduce conflict and improve day-to-day connection. Together these approaches give a mix of values-driven goals, thought work, and concrete relationship skills.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. She will work with each client to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and personal style. Sessions start with clear goals and adjust over time as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video calls are useful for face-to-face work and skill coaching. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are good for brief check-ins, homework support, or quick coping techniques between longer sessions.
