SM Portrait of Susan Morlock

Susan Morlock

Performance-focused therapist for anxiety and resilience

About Susan

Susan Morlock is a licensed mental health therapist and practice owner who focuses on performance-related anxiety, general anxiety, obsessive-compulsive behaviors, and depression. She blends evidence-based psychotherapy with nervous-system-informed care to help people address anxiety linked to public speaking, test-taking, workplace performance, and competitive settings.

Background and approach

Morlock's clinical work emphasizes building clarity, confidence, and emotional resilience under pressure. Before shifting fully into mental health, she spent over 20 years in senior-level business and organizational roles, a background that informs her understanding of leadership stress, workplace dynamics, and the pressures experienced by high-achieving professionals.

That combination of clinical training and business experience shapes a pragmatic, skill-oriented practice aimed at reducing distress while supporting sustainable performance. Susan holds LPC and LCPC credentials and provides remote psychotherapy from Vermont using a blend of approaches that include EMDR, ACT, I-CBT, and mind-body techniques.

Her practice is suited for people seeking strategies to manage anxiety, OCD symptoms, mood concerns, and the emotional toll of workplace demands.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care

Susan commonly draws from EMDR and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in her remote practice. EMDR involves processing distressing memories and their emotional impact to reduce symptoms related to trauma and intense anxiety. ACT helps people clarify values, accept difficult inner experiences, and take committed action toward meaningful goals, which is helpful for anxiety, depression, and performance concerns.

She also uses I-CBT and mind-body techniques to address obsessive thinking, compulsive behaviors, and the physical aspects of stress. I-CBT focuses on practical cognitive and behavioral skills to change unhelpful patterns, while mind-body practices teach ways to regulate physiological arousal that often accompanies anxiety and panic.

Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to identify their needs, goals, and preferences, then tailors the therapeutic plan and adjusts approaches as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexible access to licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. These options allow sessions to fit into busy schedules, support continuity of care when travel or work demands arise, and make it easier to practice skills between sessions with ongoing remote contact.
