About Suzanne
Suzanne Marin is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in North Carolina who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and grief. She also supports people dealing with ADHD, bipolar symptoms, self-esteem struggles, and life changes. Sessions focus on practical steps and steady support rather than jargon or rushed advice.
Suzanne keeps sessions warm and straightforward. She offers a calm space to talk through fears, painful memories, and confusing emotions.
Background and approach
Conversations are collaborative - she listens first, then helps clients set small, achievable goals. People leave with clear tools they can try between sessions. Her background includes eight years of professional experience as a social worker in clinical settings.
She brings that hands-on experience to each meeting and aims to tailor the work to what matters most to the individual. Suzanne emphasizes real-world coping skills alongside emotional processing. Her clinical approach draws on several evidence-based methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy.
These methods guide practical exercises, emotional awareness, and values-based decision making. The focus is on what helps in daily life: mood, relationships, and functioning. Suzanne works with people across many concerns such as family problems, commitment or control issues, infidelity, and aging-related worries.
She supports clients who feel isolated, overwhelmed, or unsure about their next step. The goal is steady progress, greater clarity, and more confidence in facing life’s challenges.
How Suzanne’s Approaches Translate to Online Care
Suzanne uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and commit to actions that match their values. ACT is useful for anxiety, depression, and when life feels confusing or stuck.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking patterns that affect mood and behavior, then practice concrete steps to shift those patterns. CBT is helpful for stress, worry, and practical problem solving.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Suzanne will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and then choose techniques that feel like a good fit. This is a collaborative process where plan and pace are adjusted together.
Online therapy offers flexibility across several formats. Video calls let people work face to face when they want that contact. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, skill practice, and ongoing connection between longer sessions.
