How Suzanne works
Sessions aim to help people notice unhelpful patterns, try different responses, and track small changes over time. Suzanne also uses mindfulness and narrative techniques to help people manage stress and process difficult events. She supports people coping with anxiety, depression, bipolar challenges, trauma and abuse, grief, and fatigue related to caregiving or high-stress work.
Career concerns, communication problems, and life purpose are commonly addressed.

Suzanne offers coaching-style guidance alongside therapy for those who want actionable steps and accountability.
First responder issues, isolation, and recovery from traumatic brain injury are additional focus areas.

Online support options
How her approaches work in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps people feel heard and clarifies goals so sessions follow the individual's priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical skills to change them. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and anger. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which can help with stress, compassion fatigue, and sleeplessness.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend or combine techniques. That collaborative process helps find methods that fit the person and the situation rather than imposing a single method.
Online formats offer flexibility to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to share thoughts between sessions or get support without scheduling a full video visit. These options make it easier to maintain regular momentum while balancing work, family, and other responsibilities.
