Dr. Susie Stubbs, LCPC

Dr. Susie Stubbs is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) practicing in Maryland. She brings 15 years of experience and a practical, person-centered style. She helps people who are facing stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, or big life transitions. Her focus includes career challenges, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, and parenting concerns as well as mood and attention differences. Dr. Stubbs centers sessions on the person in front of her. She believes clients are the experts in their own stories and that therapy should build on existing strengths. Conversations tend to be straightforward and collaborative, with the therapist offering clear tools when they fit the situation. Her work uses client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral techniques. That means she listens for what matters most to each person and then helps test practical ways to change patterns of thinking and behavior. This approach is often used for stress, anxiety, sleeping or eating problems, and problematic substance use. Across 15 years, Dr. Stubbs has supported people through career shifts, coping with grief, and bouts of depression or bipolar symptoms. She also helps with parenting strain, relationship friction, and compassion fatigue. Sessions aim to be focused and goal-oriented while honoring each person’s pace. If someone wants to begin, they choose the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire.

How her approaches guide online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and treating the person as the expert in their life. That style emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and working at the client’s pace to identify what matters most and what goals feel right.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to test new ways of thinking and acting, which can help with anxiety, stress, sleep or eating problems, and patterns linked to substance use.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences. Plans may combine listening-focused care with CBT skills to match the situation.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm available session formats before booking. Once formats are confirmed, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when appropriate, and reduce travel time. Some formats also make it simpler to manage sessions around work breaks or caregiving responsibilities. Licensed professionals adapt tools and exercises so progress continues even when sessions are remote.
