SL Portrait of Susan LeClair

Susan LeClair, LMFT

Practical, steady therapy for life changes

About Susan

Susan LeClair is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 22 years of clinical experience. She practices in Connecticut and works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship struggles, and identity concerns.

Background and approach

Susan aims to offer steady, practical help when life feels overwhelming or confusing. She meets individuals and couples who are navigating separation, parenting tensions, chronic illness, or career change.

Her experience also includes working with domestic violence survivors, people facing adoption or fertility issues, and those coping with caregiving stress. Susan listens without judgment and focuses on what matters most to each person.

Susan uses Solution-Focused Therapy to help clients set clear goals and build on what already works in their lives. Sessions are task-oriented and geared toward small, achievable steps that lead to noticeable change.

She keeps the work direct and pragmatic so people can try new ways of handling problems between meetings. In the therapy room she emphasizes trust, respect, and professional boundaries.

If a concern falls outside her scope, she will suggest other resources or referrals. Her approach is collaborative - she and the client decide what to try and when to adjust course.

Susan offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. She expects clients to be active participants and to practice skills between sessions.

This helps progress move beyond the talk and into real life.

Solution-Focused Work Online and How It Helps

Solution-Focused Therapy centers on goals and what clients want to see happen next. It focuses on strengths and small steps that can be practiced between sessions, which can help with anxiety, stress, relationship problems, and life transitions. Sessions often end with concrete tasks to try before the next meeting.

Susan pairs that approach with a practical, collaborative stance. She and each client decide together what to try and when to change course. That collaboration helps shape sessions so they fit the client's priorities and pace rather than following a strict script.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a closer face-to-face feel. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging make it easy to fit brief touchpoints into a busy day or to follow up between longer sessions. These options give flexibility to match therapy to work, family, and other routines.
