About Susan

Susan Jentoft is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 25 years of clinical experience helping people navigate complex emotional challenges. She centers her work on practical, evidence-informed methods while honoring each client's distinct story and values.

Background and approach

Her background includes supporting concerns such as depression, anxiety, grief, addiction, trauma and relational difficulties, and she integrates multiple therapeutic frames to address issues like eating and sleeping problems, anger, self-esteem, career transitions, and ADHD. Susan blends a compassionate, client-focused stance with structured interventions to help clients build coping skills and improve communication.

She often draws on Internal Family Systems alongside cognitive and emotion-focused methods to explore internal conflicts and strengthen healthy parts of the self. Her practice also attends to specialized needs including geriatric concerns, blended family dynamics, codependency, substance-related challenges, and adjustment after loss or major life change.

Based in Mississippi, she offers a professional, collaborative setting aimed at practical growth and increased emotional resilience.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Internal Family Systems (IFS) views the mind as composed of different parts that hold emotions, beliefs, and roles; working with these parts can help people resolve internal conflicts and access calmer, more centered parts of themselves. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and learning practical ways to accept difficult thoughts while committing to meaningful action, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns with structured techniques to reduce symptoms and build coping skills.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts strategies over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and geographic distance. These formats support ongoing work on relationships, stress management, grief, and other concerns while making it easier to fit therapy into daily life with licensed professionals and therapists available across time zones.
