About Suzanne

Suzanne Marin is a licensed clinical social worker who supports people experiencing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, ADHD, and a wide range of emotional and life transitions.

Background and approach

She focuses on building a therapeutic environment where clients can explore feelings around grief, anger, self-esteem, communication challenges, and issues tied to identity such as LGBT concerns. Her practice also addresses somatic complaints, impulsivity, bipolar-related struggles, and difficulties with life purpose and isolation.

Bringing eight years of clinical experience in North Carolina, Suzanne blends evidence-based strategies with a warm, client-centered stance. She draws from approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people develop practical coping skills and clarify values that guide meaningful change.

Sessions are designed to be collaborative and nonjudgmental so clients can safely examine patterns, build resilience, and work toward the goals that matter most to them. Suzanne frames therapy as a process of whole-person wellness that attends to mind, body, and spirit.

She encourages people to consider mental health care the same way they would routine physical care, and aims to make the therapeutic journey approachable and empowering.

Approaches to Online Therapy and Practical Benefits

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites clients to notice difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and taking committed actions that align with what matters most. It can be helpful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions when someone wants to move toward meaningful change despite uncomfortable emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thought patterns and building concrete coping skills to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety and to manage impulsivity or ADHD-related challenges. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness and can be useful for strong emotional reactions and relationship conflicts.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Suzanne will work with each person to tailor methods to their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds and priorities shift. Clients and therapist explore which strategies resonate and adapt the plan over time.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing people to access care from home or while on the go. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity through life changes, and use different formats for skills practice, check-ins, or deeper therapeutic work with licensed professionals.
