Susan Galewaler, LPC

Susan Galewaler is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 30 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, and depression. Her approach is straightforward and caring, aimed at helping people take the first steps toward feeling steadier and more understood.

She helps people talk through relationship and family conflicts and the stress those situations create. She also helps with the emotional aftermath of trauma and abuse, and with ongoing struggles like depression and anxiety. Her work includes support for issues such as abandonment, attachment struggles, caregiver stress, and chronic illness or pain.

Susan brings decades of experience to practical problems like communication breakdowns, control issues, divorce and separation, and feelings of guilt or shame. She has also worked with matters related to veterans and armed forces issues, men’s concerns, and midlife transitions. Her background includes co-authoring an educational book used by family therapists to assess families and children in difficult custody situations.

In sessions she aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space for people to share thoughts and feelings. She encourages small, manageable steps so progress feels achievable. Susan often helps clients identify patterns, try new ways of communicating, and set realistic goals for change.

To begin, she asks people to choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a time based on therapist availability. International clients may be accepted and sessions are conducted in English.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Susan uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change and emotional processing. One common approach helps people learn new ways to communicate and manage conflict, using clear steps to change interaction patterns and reduce stress. Another approach involves working through traumatic memories and their emotional impact in smaller, guided sessions so the experience becomes easier to live with.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, needs, and preferences, and together they will try methods that fit. Adjustments are made over time based on what helps the client feel safer and more able to cope.

Many people find online therapy helps fit sessions into busy lives by removing travel time and making scheduling easier. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current options before booking. Online work can support regular check-ins, follow-up planning, and homework between meetings to help apply what is learned in everyday life.
