About

Susana Mejia-Vargas is a fully bilingual English and Spanish Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida who focuses on unresolved trauma and related concerns. She draws on a mix of psychotherapy approaches noted in her training to help clients explore how past events influence present-day feelings, sleep, stress levels, and daily functioning. Her work highlights active listening and building rapport as foundations for collaborative clinical decision making.

She has particular experience with adoptees and adopting families navigating grief, identity questions, attachment concerns, and trauma. In addition to trauma, her areas of focus include stress, anxiety, family dynamics, grief, and self-esteem, along with related themes such as abandonment, blended family issues, and communication difficulties. Susana aims to understand how symptoms show up in both body and mind and to navigate resilience-building strategies together.

Sessions emphasize practical skill development, exploration of personal narratives, and motivational strategies to support movement toward clearer goals. She recognizes that vulnerability is a step toward greater self-awareness and works with clients to identify thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that shape their sense of purpose and well-being.

Susana integrates cognitive behavioral techniques to identify links between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and to develop practical coping strategies. She also draws on dialectical behavior elements to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills alongside motivational strategies to support goal-directed change. Narrative therapy is used to examine life stories and identity themes, especially in work with adoptees and adopting families.

Online sessions are collaborative and emphasize building skills, clarifying values, and reshaping personal narratives. Clients and Susana make clinical decisions together, with an emphasis on understanding how experiences are affecting both body and mind and on establishing steps for resilience and improved communication.
