Susanna Orlando

I’m Susanna Orlando (she/her), a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) in Ontario. I hold a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University and an Honours Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from York University. I provide online therapy for individuals across Ontario who are seeking support with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, self-esteem, and issues related to sex and intimacy.

I use an integrative, evidence-based approach to therapy, drawing from cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, emotionally focused therapy (EFT), and client-centred therapy. This allows me to personalize our work based on your unique needs – whether that means building coping strategies for anxiety, processing unresolved emotions, improving communication in relationships, or developing a stronger sense of self.

I strive to create a space where you feel safe, heard, and genuinely understood – without judgment. My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to you. Together, we’ll explore what’s been weighing on you, gently uncover patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and work toward meaningful, lasting change. My style is gentle, calm, and compassionate. I take the time to really listen and meet you where you are, helping you feel supported at every step.

Areas of Focus: 

• Sexual addiction, dysfunction, intimacy, guilt or shame, and communication techniques
• Navigating relationships, including infidelity
• Identifying and understanding the root of anxiety, its triggers, and developing better coping mechanisms  
• Understanding repressed emotions, defense mechanisms, and early experiences in life that may contribute to current struggles
• Neurodiversity-affirming and queer-affirming support
• Navigating symptoms, such as irritability, grief, and trauma, related to concussions and other physical injuries
• Couples counselling, informed by EFT

If you’re here, you might be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply ready for something to change – and you don’t have to figure it out alone.

Susanna’s session rates are $140 for 50-minute individual therapy, $210 for 75-minute individual therapy, and $180 for couples/relationship counselling.
She offers her sessions virtually or over the phone.
