Susan Burrows, LCSW — Therapist in Illinois

Hi there, I'm Susan!

My focus in therapy is to help you feel better, overcome your challenges, and live a more fulfilling life. My areas of focus are depression, anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, job difficulties, and health concerns.

My focus

I treat people who are facing challenges with their mood, their thinking, their behavior, their relationships, their jobs, and their health. People are often struggling with depression, anxiety, and stress.

My approach

My approach in therapy is supportive, laid back, understanding, compassionate and empathetic. I use solution-focused brief therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and person-centered therapy.

My communication style

I set a tone of acceptance, non-judgment, and trust. You will feel safe and will feel free to be open and share your concerns.

My journey to mental healthcare

I chose this career because I enjoy helping people. It is gratifying to see people achieve their goals, feel better, and find that spark again in their lives.

My goals for you

I let you know we will be setting a goal. I will help with this by making suggestions if needed.

Our first session

I explain what to expect from therapy and from the platform. I also share a little about myself as a way of establishing rapport. I then usually ask what brings you to therapy.
