Susana (Susie) Hernandez , LPC

Susana (Susie) Hernandez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who supports adults and teens from diverse backgrounds in pursuing their fullest potential through stronger relationships with family and community. She places the therapeutic relationship at the center of her work, believing that trust between counselor and client opens the way to deeper healing and meaningful change.

Susana emphasizes the importance of belonging and identity, helping clients explore who they are so they can experience greater acceptance, integration, and wholeness. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, life transitions, and addictions, and she partners with families to improve communication and connection. When clients find it helpful, she integrates their faith and spirituality into the counseling process to support recovery and resilience.

With five years of clinical experience, Susana combines empathetic, relationship-focused care with practical strategies to help clients move forward. When she is not meeting with clients, she enjoys spending time with family at a nearby park or gym and experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen.

Attachment-focused and acceptance-based care online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify what matters most to them and build small, values-driven steps toward a more meaningful life. It uses mindfulness and practical exercises to reduce the hold of unhelpful thoughts and support steady action toward personal goals, often helping with anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns shape current connections and emotional responses. By understanding attachment styles, clients and the therapist can work to improve trust, communication, and intimacy in family and romantic relationships.

Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the therapeutic relationship itself as a healing force. The therapist provides empathy, acceptance, and active listening so clients feel seen and are able to explore identity, self-esteem, and major life changes at their own pace.

Finding the right approach is part of the process - therapists and licensed professionals often tailor methods to each person, and Susana will collaborate with clients to determine which strategies best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Online sessions via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, provide timely access when life gets hectic, and allow consistent care across locations. These flexible options support ongoing work on relationships, coping skills, and personal growth.
