Susan Sealy, LCSW — Therapist in Maine

Hi there, I'm Susan!

I help people find relief from stress, heal from trauma, and build fulfilling lives. I work with clients facing PTSD, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and substance use challenges. I offer a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore challenges, feel heard, and learn practical skills to build resilience.

My focus

I work with adults and adolescents experiencing PTSD, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, stress, and substance use issues. My ideal clients may feel stuck, overwhelmed, or ready to make a change but unsure where to start as they navigate life transitions, rebuild after difficult experiences, or seek new ways to manage emotions.

My approach

My counseling style is collaborative, empathetic, and strengths-based. I meet clients where they are and help them build skills and resilience. I use CBT, DBT, ACT, psychoeducation, and mindfulness. Sessions balance reflection, emotional support, and actionable steps to build insight and coping skills.

My communication style

Clients describe my style as warm, approachable, and collaborative. I create a nonjudgmental environment where you can speak freely and feel understood. I help break down goals into manageable steps and celebrate progress. I'm transparent and attentive, and I see counseling as a partnership at a pace that feels right for you.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was drawn to this field because I believe everyone deserves a space where they can feel heard, supported, and empowered to grow. Seeing clients overcome barriers, improve their mental health, and build meaningful lives motivates me every day.

My goals for you

I work with clients to create clear, realistic, and meaningful goals. Together, we break big goals into small steps, track progress, and celebrate wins. I teach practical coping strategies for regulating emotions, managing stress, improving communication, and building healthy habits. You'll leave sessions feeling heard and equipped.

Our first session

Your first session is designed to help you feel comfortable and heard. We'll talk about what brings you to counseling, your history, and your goals. I'll guide a natural conversation where you can share at your own pace. Together, we'll begin a realistic plan, and you'll leave with actionable steps to begin right away.
