01About Susan
Susan Jacobsen is a licensed professional counselor with 28 years of experience. She focuses on trauma, grief, and loss, especially around infant loss, miscarriage, and fertility challenges. She brings a calm, steady presence and practical tools to sessions.
Susan uses client-centered listening to help people name what matters to them. She blends mindfulness techniques so people can notice and settle strong feelings in the moment. She also draws on Jungian and psychodynamic ideas to explore patterns that keep coming up in relationships and self-image.
Background and approach
Art-based work is part of her practice. Using simple art materials can help people access emotions that are hard to put into words. Susan says visual processing often provides a quicker route to feeling and understanding than talking alone.
Her background includes work across mental health settings over nearly three decades. That experience informs how she supports people through loss, trauma, postpartum or fertility-related concerns, compassion fatigue, and the stress of life changes. She also addresses anxiety, depression, anger, career questions, and issues around self-esteem and intimacy.
Susan practices in Colorado and conducts sessions in English. Outside of therapy she enjoys hiking, boating, camping, paddleboarding, yoga, and playing volleyball with family and friends.

04Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Susan commonly combines client-centered work with trauma-focused methods. Client-centered therapy means sessions follow the person's needs and pace, with active listening and reflection to help people feel heard. Trauma-focused therapy is aimed at safely addressing past painful events and reducing their hold on daily life, which can be useful for post-traumatic stress, grief after loss, and fertility-related trauma.She also uses mindfulness techniques to help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept away. Mindfulness can be helpful for anxiety, stress, and grounding during intense emotions. Together these approaches give several ways to approach a problem - talking, noticing patterns, and calming the body and mind.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Susan will talk with each person about their goals, history, and preferences and then choose methods that feel most helpful. She adjusts pacing and tools over time so the work fits what the person needs in that moment.
Online therapy offers flexibility and practical benefits. Video calls let the therapist and client work face to face when that matters. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a brief check-in is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to share thoughts between sessions or fit support into a busy day. These options help people access care around work, family, and travel without extra transit time.
