About Susana
Susana Deltoro is a bilingual Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, parenting strain, and questions about identity and intimacy. She speaks English and Spanish and brings 11 years of counseling experience to each conversation. Susana aims for plain talk and practical steps so families and individuals can make small changes that matter.
Susana earned a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling from the University of the Southwest. She completed her graduate internship at Santa Maria Hostel in Houston, Texas, focusing on co-occurring disorders in women and families and facilitating groups at both intensive and outpatient levels.
Her approach combines person-centered listening with concrete strategies. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Motivational Interviewing is part of how she supports people who are weighing change and need help finding their own reasons to move forward.
Susana also draws on existential and mindfulness ideas to help people clarify values and build steadier attention to the present. She describes her work as holistic and strength based, looking for practical ways a person can use their own resources.
Sessions often focus on communication, coping with life transitions, managing mood, and handling blended family or caregiver stress. Clients describe working on goals such as improving sleep, reducing anger, sorting out career choices, and addressing cultural or immigration concerns.

How her approaches translate to online care
Susana commonly uses Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify their reasons for change and build momentum one step at a time. That approach focuses on asking reflective questions and highlighting a person’s own goals, which can work well in conversational online sessions.
She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the session on listening, empathy, and the client’s priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy brings practical exercises and thought-behavior strategies that clients can try between meetings to track progress.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and the issues at hand and then try methods that match those needs. If something isn’t working, methods and pacing can be adjusted together over time.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people work through mood, motivation, and communication problems while keeping therapy integrated with everyday life. -
