About Suzanne
She believes the relationship between a person and their counselor matters most. That relationship is the starting point for making changes and planning next steps. Suzanne combines her long experience with a person-centered approach to help people identify choices and move toward goals.
Suzanne has worked in civilian community settings and with the U.S. military, and she has lived in multiple regions. This background informs her understanding of military life and the stresses that can accompany it. She also has long experience supporting members of the LGBT community and their allies.
Her method is practical and collaborative: she listens, asks questions, and offers observations. Together with the person she builds a plan that fits their needs, using tools chosen with the client's input. Her work covers a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, addictions, ADHD, grief, and chronic health issues.
People often come to her for help with parenting challenges, blended family issues, caregiver stress, first responder strain, and coping after loss or major change. Suzanne aims to help people find manageable steps and clearer direction as they work toward healing and growth.
How Suzanne’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then move toward a life guided by personal values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and trying new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people develop more secure ways of relating to others.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist listens to your goals and preferences and will try different strategies together to see what fits. That shared decision-making helps shape a plan that feels workable and realistic for everyday life.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They can also help people stay consistent through transitions like moves or work changes. Licensed professionals adapt tools from CBT, ACT, and attachment work to an online setting so you can practice skills and get feedback between meetings.
