About

Susana Mejia-Vargas is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who provides therapy in both English and Spanish, with a primary focus on helping people work through unresolved trauma and its ripple effects in everyday life. Trauma can show up in many ways, including feelings of hopelessness, anxiety, low mood, sleep disruption, persistent irritability, and ongoing stress. Susana supports clients in making sense of what happened and understanding how those experiences may still be shaping emotional and mental well-being today.

Her work is grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques, including psychotherapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), narrative therapy, and motivational therapy. She brings particular experience supporting adoptees and adopting families who may be navigating grief and loss, insecure attachment, identity or cultural concerns, and trauma-related challenges.

Susana recognizes that healing looks different for each person. She begins by learning what is happening in a client’s mind and body, then collaborates on a path forward that can build resilience, strengthen coping skills for stress, encourage support, and reconnect clients with a sense of purpose. While she brings clinical judgment to guide the process, she also emphasizes that each client is the expert on their own lived experience, even when it does not feel that way. With a strong focus on active listening, rapport, and effective communication, she helps clients explore thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and take meaningful steps toward improved well-being.

Evidence-Based Tools, Delivered Through Online Therapy

Susana Mejia-Vargas uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients understand how past experiences and current stressors affect thoughts, emotions, and daily functioning. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful patterns and practicing more balanced ways of thinking and responding, which can be especially useful for anxiety, stress, and self-esteem concerns.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes practical skills like emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. It can be helpful for people who feel overwhelmed by intense emotions, conflict, or the lingering impact of trauma. Narrative therapy offers a way to explore personal stories with curiosity and compassion, helping clients separate from painful experiences and reconnect with values, identity, and meaning, including in the context of family and adoption-related challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Susana collaborates with clients to choose strategies that fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the pace and focus as therapy unfolds.

Online therapy makes it easier to access consistent support with flexible options, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats can help clients stay connected to therapy between sessions and integrate new skills into real-life situations.
