About

Susan Samek is a licensed professional counselor and a licensed creative arts therapist with more than thirty years of clinical experience in Pennsylvania. She holds a Pennsylvania professional counseling license (PC012870), and brings a calm, gentle presence to each session that invites clients to explore and make sense of life’s challenges.

Susan creates a comfortable, safe setting where self-discovery can unfold. Her thoughtful, engaged style emphasizes empathy and unconditional positive regard, forming a foundation for deeper understanding and, when appropriate, meaningful change. She aims to ensure that those she works with feel heard and validated throughout the therapeutic process.

Art has long been a personal refuge and a practical tool for Susan, serving as a way to reflect and process complex events. After a sustained and committed engagement with her own therapeutic journey, she chose to help others access both art-based approaches and traditional talk therapy as part of their healing journeys.

Susan believes that healing begins with uncovering the roots of habits, patterns, and trauma. While the past cannot be changed, cultivating awareness of its influence can become a resource for shaping the future. With practices of acceptance and forgiveness, she supports clients in developing inner growth and resilience to meet life’s ups and downs.

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?

Many people ask whether online therapy can truly make a difference. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, or navigating life transitions, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.

One major benefit is flexibility - clients can choose the format that fits their routine and comfort level, whether that is video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This adaptability makes it easier to maintain consistent care alongside work, family, and other responsibilities.

Therapists providing online care are licensed professionals, and individuals may switch to a different therapist at any time if they are seeking a different fit. For many people, the combination of demonstrated effectiveness and practical convenience makes online therapy a viable option for support and growth.
