About Dr. Susan Schaming
Trained in cognitive and dialectical behavior therapies, Dr. Schaming integrates those evidence-based methods with a person-centered stance that recognizes the client as the expert of their own life story. LPC stands for Licensed Professional Counselor, a credential indicating formal training and licensure in counseling. She helps clients identify existing strengths and practical steps to address challenges, often assigning brief, actionable homework after the first session to begin progress right away.
Compassion, empathy, and active listening are core strengths she brings to work with grief, depression, and other forms of suffering. Taking the first step into therapy requires courage, and Dr. Schaming honors that decision while offering limited early evening and weekend appointment options to accommodate schedules.

Therapeutic Approaches and Remote Care

This shared planning helps tailor sessions and homework to what will be most useful.
