About

Susan Johnston is a licensed marriage and family therapist who practices in both California and Indiana and brings eight years of clinical experience to her work. Returning to school as an adult shaped her perspective, and since that time she has worked with individuals and families across a variety of care settings - office practices, residential and group homes, inpatient mental health programs, intensive outpatient treatment, probation services, and within a college academic environment.

She has training and experience in addiction treatment and has supported individuals and families as they reconnect with hope and possibility. Her work includes serving nearby communities as well as immigrant and refugee families, collaborating with professional interpreters to honor language and cultural differences while building effective treatment teams.

Her therapeutic approach blends humanistic and experiential methods with emotional and cognitive work, all grounded in family systems theory. Susan focuses on partnering with each person as part of a team to tailor treatment to their needs and help them reach their goals.

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?

Many people ask whether online therapy can make a meaningful difference. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and major life transitions, online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions.

Flexibility is one of the primary advantages - clients can connect in the way that suits them best, choosing video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. That range of options often makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.

Licensed professionals provide online care, and clients have the option to change therapists if they would prefer a different fit. For many people seeking support with day-to-day mental health challenges, online therapy offers an accessible and practical path forward.
