Background and approach
Sessions focus on small, useful changes and on skills that clients can use between meetings. Suzanne adapts methods to what each person prefers and needs. Suzanne began her career as a psychiatric registered nurse and later moved into social work.
Her background includes inpatient psychiatric care, eating disorders, substance use concerns, and community mental health. She also has experience with therapeutic foster care and working with caregivers and foster parents. In sessions she draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioral work, mindfulness, and acceptance strategies to help with mood, panic, and obsessive thinking.
She also uses solution-focused and client-centered techniques to set short-term goals and build on strengths. Therapy is offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging depending on what fits a client's schedule and needs. Suzanne encourages people to start with a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions that suit their routine.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small actions that move someone toward the life they want, which can help with anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy breaks problems into patterns of thought and behavior and teaches concrete skills to change them; it is useful for panic, mood shifts, obsessive thinking, and managing daily routines.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and adapt methods over time. Sessions can mix acceptance, mindfulness, solution-focused steps, or CBT techniques depending on what works best for the client.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow for more face-to-face interaction, while phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging make it simpler to fit short conversations into a busy day and to keep momentum between longer sessions. These options make it easier to maintain therapy even with a packed schedule.
