About Susan

Dr. Susan Lieberman uses emotionally focused work to help people name and make sense of their feelings. She blends this with practical tools so clients can manage anxiety, depression, stress, and challenging life changes.

Dr. Susan Lieberman is a Kansas psychologist licensed as KS Psychologist LP 1071 with 24 years of clinical experience. Her approach is direct and warm.

Sessions focus on what is happening now and on skills people can use between meetings.

Background and approach

She listens for patterns in relationships, attachment, and emotion, then helps people try new ways of responding. That might look like learning to notice difficult thoughts, practicing a short breathing strategy, or rehearsing a different way to speak about needs. She draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when useful.

These methods help with mood problems, persistent worry, anger, grief, and trauma reactions. The therapist also addresses concerns such as ADHD, addictions, chronic illness, caregiver stress, and issues linked to adoption or attachment. Clients report working on concrete goals like improving sleep routines, handling intense emotions, reducing drinking or other compulsive behaviors, and steadying mood swings.

Coaching-style support is available for workplace stress and career decisions. The pace is set by each person’s comfort and practical needs. Sessions are offered from Kansas and conducted in English.

Dr. Susan Lieberman uses video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their schedule and day-to-day life.

Online support

How Dr. Lieberman brings emotion-focused work online

Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at strong feelings and patterns in how people relate to themselves and others, helping name emotions and try new responses to painful interactions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy emphasizes noticing thoughts and values-based action, which can help when anxiety or avoidance gets in the way of daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns with practical exercises and short skill-building tasks.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review your concerns, goals, and what feels most useful, then recommend a mix of methods. That decision is collaborative and can be adjusted as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging which makes it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules. Video is useful for in-depth conversation and exercises that benefit from seeing expressions. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option or work better when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between sessions, do short coaching-style exchanges, or manage quick updates without a full appointment.
