About Suzanne

Suzanne Knapp is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with twelve years of clinical practice across diverse care settings. She has provided social work, psychotherapy, supervision, and life coaching in environments such as foster care, group residences, domestic violence shelters, schools, assisted living, outpatient clinics, and independent practice.

Background and approach

Her background has involved supporting people facing a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and intimacy challenges, and career or life purpose questions. Her therapeutic approach blends client-centered listening with practical strategies drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and narrative and solution-focused methods.

Suzanne emphasizes collaboration: she helps clients clarify goals, strengthen self-esteem, and explore identity and purpose while tailoring work to each person’s interests and strengths. Sessions aim to be engaging and interactive, with an emphasis on building skills that fit into everyday life rather than prescribing what others expect.

Based in New Mexico, Suzanne holds licensure numbers NY LCSW 082213 and NM LCSW SWB-2022-0126. She offers multiple remote session formats and works with adults seeking coaching and therapeutic support for a broad array of personal and emotional concerns.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Client-centered therapy emphasizes understanding each person from their own perspective, offering empathic listening and collaboration to help clients identify goals and make meaning from their experiences. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to distress and teaching practical skills to change unhelpful habits, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and attention-related challenges. Mindfulness therapy introduces simple awareness practices to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment coping when stress or emotions feel overwhelming.

Determining the best fit is a collaborative process. The therapist works with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals, then integrates elements from different approaches to create a tailored plan rather than prescribing a single method. This collaborative stance allows adjustments over time as priorities shift.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility around work, family, and geography. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, try shorter check-ins or longer sessions, and choose the communication method that fits a client's daily routine and comfort level.
