How Suzanne works
Much of her recent work centers on anxiety and stress tied to personal and social concerns. Dr. Cormier usually begins by learning what matters most to each person.
She uses tools from cognitive behavioral work and client-centered approaches to spot patterns and try practical alternatives. Sessions are interactive and paced to each person's comfort level. She also draws on emotionally focused ideas and motivational interviewing to strengthen resilience and clarify choices.
Solution-focused techniques are used when people want quick, concrete steps for change. Her style blends those methods while keeping the client's goals in view. Appointments are offered on weekdays and scheduled to match a person's availability.
Sessions happen by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. The aim is steady progress, built on small wins and the client's own strengths.

Online support options
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding a person's perspective and creating a safe space to talk. It helps when someone needs reflective listening and compassionate feedback to sort through feelings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, actions, and feelings interact and then tests small behavior changes. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and unhelpful thinking patterns because it offers concrete exercises and short-term goals.
The therapist treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She will talk with each person about needs, goals, and what feels comfortable, then try methods that fit. Adjustments are made as progress is observed so the plan evolves with the client's preferences.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy workable around busy lives. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help people keep therapy consistent while balancing work, family, and travel.
