About Susanne

Susanne Jenemann is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in New York with two decades of clinical experience. She presents as a calm, steady presence for people managing stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, and challenges with self-esteem. Susanne believes people know their own stories and brings a respectful, strengths-based stance to each session.

She centers clients' voices and helps them name what matters. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps rather than jargon.

Background and approach

The therapist listens for patterns that cause pain and helps people try different ways of telling and living their stories. Susanne uses narrative ideas to help clients separate themselves from problems and see new possibilities. She also draws on client-centered methods to keep sessions focused on each person’s priorities.

For relationship concerns she blends communication work informed by the Gottman Method with attention to underlying family patterns. Trauma-focused approaches and Internal Family Systems work are used when trauma or painful memories are present. These methods aim to reduce reactivity, build skills for coping, and restore a sense of agency.

Susanne pays attention to culture, identity, and issues such as prejudice or military-related concerns. Sessions are available online in English. She treats a wide range of challenges including addiction, parenting struggles, compassion fatigue, and feelings of guilt or shame.

Her style is collaborative, direct, and compassionate. If someone is ready to change, she helps map practical steps forward.

Online session options

How narrative and client-centered work translate online

Susanne uses Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from problems and retell parts of their lives in less painful ways. That approach can help with grief, trauma, shame, and relationship problems by opening new perspectives and choices.

She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which means sessions follow the client’s priorities and pace. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping people identify their own strengths and goals. For relationship concerns she integrates practical communication skills informed by the Gottman Method to improve everyday interactions.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they test different ways of working and adjust the plan as progress and needs become clearer.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and interactive work. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging let people keep momentum between sessions or fit therapy into a busy day. These options give flexibility for people with varied schedules and locations.
