About Susan

Susan Galewaler is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 30 years of experience based in Texas. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and the effects of trauma and abuse. She also supports those dealing with relationship and family conflicts, including custody-related challenges. Her work includes attention to men's wellbeing among other concerns.

Susan draws on long practice experience to create a welcoming space for people to talk through what matters most to them. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps, not long lectures. She listens for patterns around abandonment, attachment, control, and communication, then helps clients try new ways of responding.

Her background includes collaborative work with families and co-authoring an educational book used by family therapists for assessing custody situations. That experience informs her attention to family dynamics and caregiver stress. She brings a calm, steady approach to conversations about divorce, separation, and complex household issues.

Clients looking for help with chronic pain, illness, or disability will find support that considers emotional and practical impacts. Susan also addresses isolation, impulsivity, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose and midlife changes. Veteran and Armed Forces issues are included among her focus areas.

Starting therapy with Susan begins with a simple step and an invitation to be honest about goals. She aims to reduce the worry around beginning therapy and to help clients take manageable next steps toward feeling better.

Approaches that guide online work and decision-making

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on practical change and clearer thinking. One common approach helps people identify harmful patterns in relationships and behavior, then practice different responses to reduce anxiety and improve communication. Another approach breaks big problems into smaller, manageable steps so clients can try new habits and notice what helps. Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help clients and clinicians decide which methods match the person's goals, needs, and preferences. This is a collaborative process that can change as progress is made or priorities shift. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow more frequent check-ins when needed. Some formats may be better for brief updates while others support longer, deeper conversations; discussing format choices is part of the initial planning so sessions fit practical needs and therapy goals.
