About Susan Frambes

Susan Frambes is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in the state of New Jersey with over 25 years of experience supporting people with disabilities and their families, individuals facing addictive disorders, and those navigating major life transitions. She works with adults of all ages who present with depression, anxiety, regret, or the long-term effects of childhood trauma, and she has experience assisting survivors of physical and emotional abuse, stalking, and domestic violence.

Susan adapts her schedule when possible to accommodate clients' needs and prioritizes responsive communication, answering messages on a daily basis and offering a text-only option for those who prefer it. Her approach centers on tailoring care to the individual, making each person she works with the primary focus of the therapeutic relationship.

Clinically, she draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) alongside insight-oriented and reality-oriented techniques, and she incorporates supportive therapy to help clients build coping skills and resilience. Her practice reflects a belief in the transformative potential of talk therapy, succinctly captured by her guiding quotation: "If you want to fly, you have to give up what weighs you down."

One of the primary benefits is flexibility. Clients can connect in the way that suits them best - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - which often makes it easier to maintain continuity of care around work, family, or mobility constraints.

Therapists who offer remote services are licensed professionals, and individuals may change therapists if they seek a different fit. For many people, online therapy provides accessible, consistent support that can be integrated into a busy life while addressing the issues that matter most.
