A licensed professional counselor (LPC) is a mental health provider who holds a master’s or doctoral degree in counseling and who has met all requirements set forth by the state licensure board to provide quality mental health care.
The second “C” (LPC“C”) denotes advanced clinical experience and knowledge as required by the state licensure board that allows for independent practice (meaning, without the need for supervision).
The “S” (LPCC-“S”) denotes advanced experience and knowledge in clinical supervision as required by the state licensure board that allows for supervision of LPCs and counselors-in-training.
Susan Weber (pronouns: she/her) is an experienced Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor-Supervisor who works with children, adolescents, young adults, and adults. Her specialty interests include: girls’ and women’s issues, integrating creativity, and building hope in the counseling process.
Susan completed her advanced education at The University of Akron, earning her dual bachelor’s degrees in child life and psychology, with minors in both child development and family development and a certificate in sign language. She completed her master’s degree in clinical pastoral counseling from Ashland Theological Seminary. Susan has a love of learning and helping people grow in their knowledge and experience.
Susan has worked in the areas of residential care, foster care, school-based counseling, group practice, and community mental health inside doctor offices. She has used her American Sign Language (ASL) skills while counseling clients and has completed additional training in ASL interpretation and school counseling.

Beyond her clinical work, Susan participated in a choir made up of deaf, hearing, and hard-of-hearing people who performed their songs with sign language.

These roles help fulfill her calling to help and inspire people in their lives.
Susan’s approach to counseling is relational and client-centered because of her desire to help people grow through their experiences in a way that will make them healthy and feel that they are ready to face the world again. In addition to being open and non-judgmental, she is known for using humor, metaphors, psychoeducation, and creative approaches in the sessions.

Susan Weber’s supervision training includes master’s course work in supervision, completion of a 24-hour supervisor training as required for the Counselor, Social Worker, Marriage and Family Therapy Board, along with additional training development as a supervisor. She has experience managing and supervising foster homes, assessing the placements, the foster parent’s compliance to paperwork and expectations, along with always being available to interns, counselors with questions or concerns they may have, along with case conceptualization.
