Susana (Susie) Hernandez , LPC

Susana (Susie) Hernandez helps teens and adults from diverse backgrounds pursue their fullest potential by strengthening relationships with family and community. She places the therapeutic relationship at the center of her work, believing that a foundation of trust allows deeper healing to unfold. For many clients she supports, a sense of belonging is essential to psychological well-being, and she guides people in exploring their identity so they can experience greater acceptance, integration, and wholeness.

Susie works with individuals and families on concerns such as anxiety, depression, life transitions, addictions, grief, parenting, relationship and intimacy issues, and trauma and abuse. She also addresses a wide range of related difficulties, including communication and commitment problems, codependency, caregiver stress, and body image. Her clinical toolbox includes approaches that emphasize connection, values, and practical coping skills. Susie holds an LPC, which stands for Licensed Professional Counselor, and brings five years of clinical experience to her practice in Texas.

When appropriate, she integrates clients' faith and spirituality into therapy as part of the recovery process. Outside of sessions, Susie spends time with her family at a nearby park or gym and enjoys cooking meals for those she loves.

Therapeutic Approaches and Remote Support

Susana (Susie) Hernandez uses approaches that emphasize connection, values, and the client as an active partner in change. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on the ways early relationships shape current patterns - it helps clients explore how attachment needs affect intimacy, trust, and family dynamics. Client-Centered Therapy centers the therapeutic relationship and the client's own goals, offering a supportive environment where people can clarify identity, build self-esteem, and work through life transitions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that align with personal values - it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and motivation struggles.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Susie works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Susie is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and receive support from wherever a client is located, including international settings. Licensed professionals and therapists can adapt these formats to deliver thoughtful, goal-oriented care.
