Susan GalewalerLPC

Susan Galewaler is an LPC with 30 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict, trauma, and depression. She speaks English and is based in Texas. Susan encourages a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can say what they need to say and begin to make changes one step at a time.

Over three decades, Susan has supported people facing custody and family challenges and has co-authored an educational book used by family therapists for assessing families and children in difficult custody situations. That experience informs how she listens for patterns in relationships and parenting concerns.

Her approach centers on practical conversation and collaboration. Sessions focus on identifying what feels most urgent, building clearer communication, and testing small changes that can reduce stress and improve daily functioning. She aims to make sessions straightforward and useful for everyday life.

Susan also works with issues tied to trauma and abuse, helping people process difficult experiences and reduce their ongoing effect. She pays attention to attachment and abandonment themes when they show up in relationships and parenting.

People who come for help with chronic illness, caregiver stress, midlife questions, or feelings of isolation will find a therapist who values patience and steady support. The goal is to help people feel more able to manage difficult moments and move toward clearer choices.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques emphasize practical, skills-based work and careful attention to past experiences that shape current behavior. One common approach focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression; it teaches concrete tools to manage stress, improve sleep, and break patterns that keep problems going. Another approach centers on understanding attachment and relationship patterns, helping people notice how early bonds affect current relationships and communication, and practicing new ways to connect that reduce conflict.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose techniques that match a person's goals, needs, and preferences. That means sessions can shift over time as new issues emerge or different tools prove more helpful.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life and to keep continuity when travel or caregiving makes in-person visits hard. It can reduce commute time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make scheduling around work or childcare simpler. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online and in-person options before booking to ensure they meet your situation.
