About Susanne
Susanne Jenemann is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in New York with 20 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, and life changes.
Background and approach
She centers clients' own knowledge of their lives and strengths when they come for help. She works in a straightforward, respectful way and encourages people to tell their stories in their own words.
Sessions focus on practical steps people can use between appointments. Susanne pays attention to how relationships and family history shape daily feelings and behavior.
Her background includes long-term work with trauma and abuse, and she supports people coping with addiction, compassion fatigue, and loss. She also helps with self-esteem, motivation, and issues related to gender and multicultural identity.
Clients can expect a calm, listening approach that aims to clarify goals and build small, manageable changes. Susanne uses several therapeutic approaches, including the Gottman Method, client-centered therapy, narrative therapy, trauma-focused work, and Internal Family Systems.
She draws from these methods to tailor sessions to each person’s needs. The focus is on collaboration - figuring out what helps and adapting as goals evolve.
People who choose Susanne typically want a therapist who listens without judgment and helps turn insight into action. Her style is practical and grounded, aimed at making everyday life feel more manageable and meaningful.
How her approaches shape online therapy
Susanne uses several practical methods that translate well to online formats. The Gottman Method focuses on improving communication and reducing conflict patterns in close relationships; it helps people learn specific skills for talking about difficult issues and rebuilding connection. Client-centered therapy centers the person's experience and priorities, offering a supportive space where the therapist listens and reflects so people can find their own solutions. Narrative therapy helps people separate themselves from difficult problems by reauthoring life stories, which can reduce shame and open room for new choices.Choosing which approach to use is a collaborative process. Susanne will work with each person to identify goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. She adjusts pace and techniques as progress is made so sessions stay relevant and useful.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions are useful for deeper conversations that benefit from seeing expressions, while phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging suit quick check-ins, short updates, or moments when writing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, or other responsibilities.
