About Susanne
Susanne Jenemann is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) in New York with 20 years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical steps that help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and the fallout from trauma and abuse.
Background and approach
Susanne emphasizes strengths and personal stories as a way forward. Susanne sees clients as the experts on their own lives.
She listens first and then helps people name problems and try small changes that can make daily life easier. Sessions aim to boost confidence, reduce overwhelm, and rebuild motivation.
Her work often addresses relationship and family concerns such as communication problems, family of origin issues, and family conflict. She also helps with parenting stress, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue from caregiving roles.
Other focus areas include addictions, anger, guilt and shame, and issues faced by veterans and people from diverse cultural backgrounds. Therapeutic methods include client-centered approaches, Narrative Therapy, Trauma-Focused work, Internal Family Systems techniques, and elements of the Gottman Method for relationship work.
These tools are used to untangle patterns, tell new stories about the past, and strengthen day-to-day coping skills. Susanne aims to create a calm, steady space where people can try different ways of solving problems.
She supports those who want clearer communication, greater self-love, and more stable emotional balance. The first step is often a short conversation to see what feels like the right next move.
How Susanne's Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. It helps people feel heard and clarifies what they want to change. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and their lives and helps rewrite those stories to reduce shame and increase agency. Trauma-Focused Therapy targets the impact of traumatic events by teaching ways to manage reactions and build safety in daily routines.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then try approaches that fit. This is a collaborative process that can shift as progress is made or new issues come up.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging allow ongoing contact and quick reflections between sessions. These options help make therapy fit into busy schedules and varied daily routines.
