Over her 20 years of practice Suzanne has supported people facing compassion fatigue, chronic pain, and illness.

Her Florida license is LCSW, FL LCSW SW8648, and she brings two decades of experience to conversations about coping and recovery. Her approach is collaborative and straightforward. Suzanne helps people set realistic steps, track progress, and adjust plans when needed.
She aims to make therapy feel manageable and useful for everyday life.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following each person's lead. Online sessions give time and space for the therapist to reflect and help clients clarify their goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps people notice thoughts and try new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. CBT works well across video, phone, and messaging because it uses concrete exercises and homework that can be tracked between sessions.The right approach is often discovered together. Suzanne works collaboratively to match methods to each person's needs, goals, and preferences. She may begin with listening and then introduce CBT or solution-focused steps if those seem useful, adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Online formats offer practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that feels helpful. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat or text-based messaging can support shorter check-ins, quick coaching, or ongoing encouragement between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or changing schedules.
