Meet Susan Delia, LICSW
I’m Susan Delia, a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker based in Yakima, Washington. I help adults, particularly women carrying too much, regain their sense of calm, clarity, and confidence.
Along with my clinical training, I also hold a life coaching certification, which brings a future-focused, action-oriented perspective to my work. This means I’m not just here to explore what’s been hard, I’ll help you build tools and take meaningful steps toward what’s next.
Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, burnout, people-pleasing, or the quiet weight of self-doubt, you don’t have to keep carrying it all. Together, we’ll work through what’s keeping you stuck, build skills that feel natural to use and create momentum.
My Approach to Therapy
Therapy should be more than a place to vent. You deserve something that actually helps — something that gives you clarity, direction, and a real sense of relief.
That’s why I use a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) — two practical, evidence-based approaches that help people feel better, think more clearly, and move forward.
What Is CBT?
CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) helps you understand how your thoughts, feelings, and actions are connected. If you're stuck in cycles of self-doubt, overthinking, or anxiety, CBT can help you notice and shift those patterns.
Together, we’ll explore the thoughts that may be keeping you stuck like catastrophizing, perfectionism, or negative self-talk and work on replacing them with more balanced, helpful ways of thinking. CBT gives you tools you can use in real life, not just during sessions.
What Is SFBT?
SFBT (Solution-Focused Brief Therapy) helps us focus on what’s working in your life and how to build more of it. Instead of spending all our time looking at problems, we’ll look at strengths, goals, and small steps forward.
This approach reminds you that you already have resources within you. Sometimes you just need help uncovering them. SFBT can feel hopeful, energizing, and empowering, especially if you’re feeling stuck.
I often work with:
- Women feeling stretched thin by caregiving, careers, or perfectionism
- Adults facing anxiety, sadness, or chronic overthinking
- Individuals struggling with self-confidence or life transitions
- People who are emotionally sensitive, deep-feeling, and tired of being dismissed
You don’t need years of therapy to feel better. Sometimes, you just need a clear path and the right kind of support.
What It’s Like to Work Together
I’m not here to “fix” you — because you’re not broken. I’m here to walk beside you to help you see things more clearly, challenge the patterns that keep you stuck, and reconnect with who you truly are.
Clients describe me as calm, engaged, and thoughtful. I’ll listen deeply, reflect honestly, and help you gain momentum without pressure or judgment.
You can expect:
- Warm, non-judgmental support
- Simple strategies that fit your life
- A balance of insight and action
- A space where you’re seen, heard, and supported
Supervision for Early Career Therapists
In addition to therapy, I offer clinical supervision for post-master’s clinicians working toward licensure.
My supervision style is collaborative and strengths-based. I focus on helping new therapists grow in their clinical skills, reflect on their own process, and build confidence in their work — while staying grounded in ethical and compassionate care.
If you’re a therapist in Washington looking for LICSW supervision that’s supportive, structured, and deeply respectful of your learning process, feel free to reach out to discuss whether we’d be a good fit.
