About Suzanne
Suzanne Knapp is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with twelve years of experience. She practices in New Mexico and helps people address everyday stresses and bigger life shifts. Suzanne focuses on clear goals and steady progress rather than clinical jargon or long checklists.
She has worked in many settings, including foster care, group residences, domestic violence shelters, schools, assisted living, outpatient clinics, and independent practice. That variety shaped a practical approach that adapts to each person's situation.
Background and approach
She listens first, then helps people identify what matters most to them. Suzanne uses client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral and mindfulness tools. She also draws on motivational interviewing and narrative ideas to support change.
Sessions are collaborative and aimed at skills people can use between meetings. Common concerns she helps with include stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, grief, trauma and abuse, depression, bipolar challenges, and ADHD-related struggles. She also addresses relationship and family issues, parenting strain, sleep problems, career decisions, and compassion fatigue for helpers and first responders.
Her style is engaging and interactive. She works with people to build realistic personal and professional goals based on their interests and strengths. The work is practical: clearer thinking, small behavior changes, and new ways to tell your story that make daily life easier.
How Suzanne’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy centers the conversation on the person's needs and goals. The therapist follows the client's lead, asks reflective questions, and helps clarify what matters most. This approach suits people who want a respectful, paced way to explore choices and priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on practical strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It often includes simple exercises and experiments to try between sessions and can help with anxiety, depression, sleep, and attention-related challenges.
Mindfulness therapy teaches basic awareness and grounding practices to reduce overwhelm and improve focus. Short breathing or attention practices are often used to help with stress, sleep, and managing strong emotions.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Suzanne collaborates with each person to decide which approaches fit their goals, preferences, and daily life. Together they set clear, achievable steps and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for deeper conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging offer quick check-ins, brief coaching, or ongoing support between meetings. These options give flexibility to fit therapy into work, school, or parenting schedules.
