About Suzanne

Suzanne DePasquale is a licensed clinical social worker with 18 years of practice who focuses on relationship and family concerns as well as grief, compassion fatigue, ADHD, stress, and anxiety. She brings a calm, empathic presence to work through intimacy-related issues, parenting challenges, anger, and trauma and abuse.

Background and approach

Her approach also addresses a broad set of related concerns including abandonment, aging and geriatric issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, blended family dynamics, caregiving stress, communication problems, and the effects of serious illness such as cancer and HIV/AIDS.

She blends evidence-informed methods like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered and mindfulness-oriented practices with relationship-focused tools such as the Gottman Method. This mix helps clients build clearer communication, manage distressing thoughts and emotions, and reconnect with valued priorities.

Suzanne works from Florida and holds LCSW credentials in both Florida and New Jersey, and she accepts international clients when appropriate. Clients can expect a collaborative, respectful stance that emphasizes practical skills alongside emotional processing.

Her practice supports people navigating divorce or separation, hospice and end-of-life concerns, domestic violence impacts, infidelity, narcissistic relationship patterns, and other complex life transitions.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Relationship and Life Work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people identify their core values and take committed action despite difficult thoughts or feelings, which can be helpful for stress, anxiety, and motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical strategies to notice and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, often reducing distress and improving daily functioning for anxiety, anger, and mood concerns. The Gottman Method provides structured tools for improving communication, resolving conflict, and strengthening intimacy in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to determine which methods best match their goals, preferences, and the specific issues they want to address, and may blend techniques from multiple approaches as needed.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules or to connect from different locations. These remote formats support continuity of care for those managing caregiving responsibilities, relocation, or time constraints, while allowing licensed professionals to tailor interventions using the approaches described above.
