Susan Adsit-McGriff, LCSW

Susan focuses on practical steps people can try between sessions while listening to their unique story. In sessions she creates a space to talk through painful memories, current stressors, and recurring patterns of emotion or behavior.

She uses approaches that match each person's needs, drawing on methods like Internal Family Systems and cognitive tools to address difficult feelings. Conversations are centered on the person's values and goals rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

Susan blends client-centered listening with structured techniques when they fit the situation. That can mean learning new coping skills, practicing emotion regulation, or examining how inner parts interact to shape thoughts and actions.

She keeps language straightforward and focuses on things people can try right away. Her work emphasizes steady progress over quick fixes.

Susan supports people as they build stronger self-awareness and more effective ways to manage anger, attention challenges, and low mood. She helps people notice small changes that add up over time.

Located in Missouri, Susan brings two decades of social work practice to her sessions and aims to make therapy understandable and useful for everyday life.
