Professional statement

Susan Morlock is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor who works with adults navigating anxiety, performance pressure, perfectionism, chronic self-criticism, and high-functioning stress. Many of her clients are professionals, students, creatives, and leaders who appear put-together on the outside yet struggle internally with fear of judgment, public speaking stress, speaking or worries about not being “enough.” She also frequently supports individuals experiencing panic symptoms, life transitions, and attachment-based anxiety that affects relationships and self-confidence.

Susan’s therapeutic approach is warm, active, and grounded in mind-body interventions. She blends EMDR with Metacognitive Therapy (MCT), ACT, DBT, and CBT, helping clients shift unhelpful thinking patterns while also addressing how anxiety shows up in the body. Her work is highly collaborative—clients learn practical tools for calming the nervous system, processing past experiences that still feel “stuck,” and building new cognitive and emotional habits that support lasting change. She places strong emphasis on helping people understand why their anxiety developed and how to work with it rather than against it.

Clinically, Susan brings extensive experience in treating anxiety-related disorders and performance-based fears. She has advanced training in eye-movement therapies, trauma-informed care, and evidence-based approaches rooted in cognitive science. Clients describe her style as validating, nonjudgmental, and structured in a way that gives them both clarity and momentum. She is especially passionate about helping individuals who feel overwhelmed by internal pressure or who struggle to trust themselves in high-stakes moments.

Susan offers remote therapy sessions to clients in Illinois, Colorado, and Vermont, providing flexible scheduling that accommodates busy professionals and clients across time zones. Telehealth allows her to meet clients wherever they feel most comfortable—whether at home, in a private office, or between obligations. Her practice was intentionally designed to reduce barriers to care, making therapy accessible, convenient, and centered on what each person needs to thrive


Message to clients

Before we begin working together, I want you to know that you don’t have to have everything figured out before starting therapy. Many of the clients I work with feel pressure to “do it right,” worry about being judged, or fear that their anxiety makes them weak. You’re not expected to show up perfectly—just honestly. My hope is that you’ll feel safe, understood, and supported as you take this next step, even if you’re unsure where to begin.

In our work together, I’ll help you slow down enough to understand what your mind and body are trying to communicate. Whether you’re dealing with performance anxiety, panic, self-doubt, or the feeling that you’re constantly bracing for something to go wrong, we’ll create a plan that gives you both clarity and tools. I’ll guide you through approaches like EMDR, MCT, ACT, DBT, and CBT, but at a pace that feels manageable and grounded. Therapy with me is collaborative—we’ll check in often, adjust what’s not working, and celebrate progress that sometimes feels too subtle to notice on your own.

Most importantly, I hope you leave therapy with a stronger sense of trust in yourself. Anxiety often convinces us that we’re not capable or that something is wrong with us. I want to help you reconnect with the parts of you that are resilient, capable, and worthy of calm. My goal is for you to feel more in control of your life, more confident in your abilities, and more compassionate toward yourself as you grow.
