About Susan
Susan Cockrell is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Arizona and Texas. She focuses on helping people navigate depression, anxiety, stress, and major life changes in a straightforward, compassionate way. Her style is warm and nonjudgmental, and she aims to make therapy feel practical and relatable.
Susan uses a mix of approaches tailored to each person's needs. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral ideas, and client-centered methods to help people identify values, shift unhelpful thoughts, and build skills for daily life. She also incorporates strategies from dialectical behavior work when emotional regulation and distress tolerance are needed.
She has five years of clinical experience supporting people with addiction concerns, relationship and communication struggles, grief, trauma, and identity-related issues. Susan also addresses caregiver stress, chronic illness, body image, and work-related challenges. Her background includes work with LGBTQ+ people and those facing disability or health-related stressors.
In sessions she focuses on clear goals and practical steps. That might mean learning a new coping skill, practicing communication, or creating a plan to manage mood and stress. She pays attention to each person’s values and priorities when setting goals.
Susan invites clients to bring their real-life problems into the room. She aims to create an affirming space where people feel heard and can try new ways of handling difficulties. If you want a down-to-earth therapist who combines skill-building with acceptance and empathy, she may be a good match.
