Compassionate guidance for navigating life

Susan Frate is a licensed clinician in Ohio with 25 years of professional experience helping people work through stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, and major life transitions.
She approaches therapy with the belief that clients know their lives best and already hold strengths that can be used to face difficult challenges. Her aim is to help individuals recognize and build on those existing resources so they can move forward with greater resilience.
Susan holds Ohio licensure as an independent social worker and carries supervisory qualifications, which reflect her training and experience in clinical practice and supervision. She understands that taking the initial step to begin therapy takes courage, and she invites clients to use that courage as a foundation for collaborative work focused on their growth and well-being.
Many people wonder whether meeting with a therapist online can truly help. For a range of common concerns - including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and navigating life changes - online therapy has been found to be as effective as traditional in-person sessions for most individuals.
One major benefit is flexibility. Clients can choose the mode of connection that suits them best - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - which makes it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and maintain continuity of care.
All therapists providing online services are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to change therapists at any time if they prefer a different fit. This accessibility and adaptability make online therapy a viable option for many people seeking support.
