Dr. Susie Stubbs, MD, LCPC

Dr. Susie Stubbs uses practical, goal-focused methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and life transitions. She combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with a client-centered approach to build useful skills and to honor each persons experience. She is based in Maryland and has 15 years of professional experience. Dr. Stubbs holds an MD and is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, LCPC.

She helps people who are dealing with career struggles, the strain of change, and relationship or intimacy-related worries. She also supports those facing addiction, grief, trauma and abuse, sleep and eating issues, and challenges like ADHD or bipolar disorder. Sessions often include clear strategies for coping and small experiments to test new behaviors.

Her style is straightforward and collaborative. She listens first, then works with each person to set realistic goals. Therapy sessions mix problem-solving, skill practice, and time to reflect on what matters most to the client.

Dr. Stubbs offers tools for managing stress and anger, improving self-esteem, and addressing compassion fatigue. For people needing coaching, she brings a focus on career and professional development alongside therapeutic care. Her approach aims to make changes manageable and linked to daily life.

Beginning therapy starts with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling. Dr. Stubbs supports clients by tracking progress and adjusting techniques as needs change. The emphasis is on noticeable steps forward rather than lengthy theory talks.

CBT and Client-Centered Care Online

Dr. Stubbs uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, turning abstract worries into concrete steps and experiments. CBT techniques can help with anxiety, depression, stress, sleep problems, and patterns that get in the way of daily life.

She also uses a client-centered approach that focuses on listening and following each person's goals. That means therapy sessions are shaped around what the client wants to work on, and progress is tracked together. Deciding which methods to use is a collaborative process based on the client's needs, goals, and preferences.

Online therapy with this approach can be flexible and practical. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and guided skill practice. Phone sessions work well if bandwidth or visual focus is an issue. Live chat and text-based messaging make quick check-ins or brief coaching moments possible between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and keep work moving forward in everyday life.
