About Susan

Susan Jentoft is a licensed professional counselor with 25 years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and a wide range of life changes. Her work focuses on clear, practical support for everyday problems rather than jargon or long lectures.

Susan uses approaches like Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered work, and mindfulness. She adapts her methods to what each person needs and explains options in plain terms.

Background and approach

Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with attention to what feels doable between meetings. Parents and professionals often come with worries about sleep, eating, addiction, or burnout. Susan talks through coping strategies and communication skills people can try right away.

She also helps with relationship stress, intimacy issues, parenting strain, and career decisions without assuming one fixed path. Susan has worked across many settings and brings that experience to individual care. She pays attention to cultural and life-stage differences when they matter to a person’s situation.

Her style is steady and practical, aiming to help people see small changes build into larger improvements. Sessions are offered in English and are available to people in Mississippi and internationals. Whether someone needs short-term coaching or longer therapeutic work, Susan works together with clients to set useful goals and track progress over time.

Online support

How these approaches translate to online work

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and name feelings and the patterns those feelings create in relationships and daily life. Online sessions can be used to practice new ways of expressing emotion and trying different responses in real time. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on noticing thoughts without getting stuck in them and taking actions that match personal values; it often includes small behavioral experiments that translate well to remote sessions. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening, empathy, and supporting a person’s own problem-solving; this approach makes phone or text check-ins useful between longer meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made, keeping the plan flexible and collaborative.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for visual cues and fuller conversations, while phone calls work when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging can be used for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when a shorter interaction fits a busy day. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family life, or different time zones.
