Background and approach

From there she works with people to set realistic goals and small steps toward them. Her approach mixes person-centered care with evidence-based methods. She draws on cognitive-behavioral techniques, acceptance strategies, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy to help manage emotion, behavior, and unhelpful thinking.

Suzanne also uses attachment-focused ideas to look at relationship patterns and how they affect daily life. Suzanne has worked in community settings and with the U.S. military, both as a clinician and clinical supervisor. That background gives her experience with diverse cultures, lifestyles, and the stresses of military life.

She is familiar with issues facing LGBTQ+ people and offers a nonjudgmental stance. Practical concerns like sleeping, eating, parenting, work stress, and coping with chronic illness are discussed in straightforward terms. Sessions aim to be collaborative, problem-focused, and tailored to the person’s pace.

Suzanne helps people find options they can try between sessions and checks what is working.

Approach-driven care delivered online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and learning flexible ways to respond to difficult thoughts and feelings. It helps people who want to stop fighting distress and instead build a life that reflects what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and behavior change. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills that can help when strong feelings get in the way of daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Suzanne treats the choice of methods as a collaboration and will discuss which strategies fit a person's goals, preferences, and situation. She tailors techniques over time and checks in about what is helpful so the plan evolves with progress.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video can support face-to-face conversation and skill demonstrations, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and messaging suits short check-ins or written reflection. These options let people fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel while maintaining consistent contact with a licensed professional.
