About Sus Austill
Sus Austill brings a thoughtful blend of lived experience and clinical skill to her therapeutic work. She has long-term recovery experience, extensive years of parenting, and decades of practice with children, adolescents, adults, and families in settings that include outpatient, residential, and inpatient care. Her approach is informed by recovery-based perspectives and years of direct practice in mental health, substance use disorders, and crisis stabilization.
She works from an adaptable, intuitive style rather than a single-method model, drawing from tools such as genograms, motivational interviewing, empathetic listening, gestalt ideas, cognitive-behavioral techniques, narrative work, mindfulness, and tai chi. These methods are applied to issues including addictions, trauma and abuse, PTSD and moral injury, compassion fatigue, ADHD, depression, anxiety, grief, relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, and intimacy-related issues.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - LCSW, she combines professional training with personal insight to support people who feel marginalized or isolated. Sus welcomes clients who are navigating life changes, caregiver stress, cancer-related concerns, codependency, domestic violence, veteran and first responder issues, and other complex situations. She offers a steady, compassionate presence to help people repair, reorient, or simply be heard, and she provides therapy in both English and Danish for those in Florida and international clients.

Sus Austill integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness practices into her online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening deeply and building a trusting relationship so clients can explore their own goals and values - it is helpful for people seeking support with life transitions, relationship challenges, or emotional processing. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, examines patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical strategies to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, and impulsivity. Mindfulness Therapy encourages present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance, which can reduce stress, support recovery from addiction, and help with mood regulation.Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. Sus partners with each person to identify which approaches fit their needs, goals, and preferences and adjusts the plan over time to reflect what is most helpful.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chats, or text-based messaging to suit different lifestyles and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain consistent care, access support from a distance, and integrate therapy into busy or changing schedules.
