About Suzanne

Suzanne Walker is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with 38 years of clinical experience. She draws on an integrated, person-centered approach that emphasizes the therapeutic relationship as the foundation for change.

Background and approach

Suzanne helps clients explore choices, process difficult events, and build strategies for managing stress, trauma, mood concerns, addictions, ADHD, and other life challenges. Her style blends evidence-based methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Attachment-based work with a client-centered stance that prioritizes empathy and collaboration.

Suzanne has worked with people across the age-span and with diverse backgrounds, and she aims to create individualized plans that meet each person’s goals for healing, growth, or problem-solving. Clients can expect a calm, nonjudgmental presence and practical skills-oriented work alongside exploration of values, relationships, and coping.

Suzanne emphasizes partnering with clients to develop a clear plan of care, adjusting techniques to fit needs related to anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, grief, parenting, career shifts, and other focus areas listed in her practice.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify their values and take committed action toward meaningful goals while building skills to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings. This approach is often useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns by teaching practical skills for coping, problem-solving, and mood regulation; it is commonly used for depression, anxiety, and habit-related concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns in relationships and emotional bonds to support healthier connections and improved emotional regulation, which can help with intimacy, family dynamics, and trauma-related issues.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Suzanne works with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences, then blends techniques from these approaches to create an individualized plan. She emphasizes partnership in deciding which methods to try and how to adapt them over time based on progress and feedback.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, manage geographical barriers, and maintain continuity of care. These formats allow licensed professionals to provide structured skill work, talk therapy, and ongoing support while accommodating different communication styles and practical needs.
