About Suzanne
Suzanne Tyghter is a licensed clinical social worker with 19 years of experience in Connecticut. She focuses on helping people cope with depression, anxiety, stress, and grief. Suzanne guides clients toward clearer thinking and renewed confidence in small, manageable steps.
She uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen closely and shape sessions around each person’s goals and pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) tools are offered when helpful to identify unhelpful thinking and change patterns that fuel worry or low mood.
Background and approach
Sessions emphasize practical skills the client can use between meetings. Suzanne often works with people facing big life shifts like divorce or caregiver strain. Communication difficulties, isolation, and problems with guilt or shame are common topics.
She also supports those wanting to build self-love and healthier ways of relating to others. The approach is warm and collaborative. Suzanne aims to create a calm, straightforward space where people can name what’s hard and test new responses.
Progress is measured in real-life changes such as clearer boundaries, improved routines, or fewer days dominated by worry. Clients who want to begin are asked to describe what matters most to them. From there Suzanne helps set simple goals and chooses techniques that match the person’s needs and lifestyle.
Online approaches that meet you where you are
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what each person says matters most. The therapist follows your lead, helps clarify goals, and supports you in making changes at your own pace.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical ways to notice and change thoughts and behaviors that feed anxiety or low mood. It is often used to manage stress, depression, and repetitive negative thinking with simple exercises between sessions.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try techniques that fit your needs, and adjust the plan as you make progress. The aim is to find methods that feel useful in daily life rather than forcing a single model.
Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video helps when visual cues matter, phone can be easier if bandwidth is limited, and chat or text can work for short check-ins or when writing feels more comfortable. These options let people fit sessions around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping continuity of care.
