Her academic background includes a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in clinical psychology. Over 12 years of practice, she has drawn on several approaches to match client needs. She describes using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thinking that affects mood and anxiety.
Suzanna also uses Solution-Focused Therapy for people who prefer shorter, goal-oriented work to find practical solutions. For those affected by prolonged trauma, she applies Trauma-Focused methods to identify triggers and develop ways to manage strong emotions.
She supports people coping with grief, parenting strain, career stress, ADHD challenges, compassion fatigue, mood shifts, and issues around intimacy and self-worth. Sessions aim to help clients identify clear steps, learn coping skills, and move toward better rest and daily functioning.
How Suzanna’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy
Suzanna uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns that fuel anxiety, low mood, and sleep disruption. CBT sessions typically involve identifying specific thoughts, testing them against evidence, and practicing new ways of thinking and behaving to improve daily functioning.She also offers Solution-Focused Therapy, which concentrates on small, practical steps toward clear goals. This approach suits people who want focused, time-efficient work to resolve particular problems or build better routines that support rest and coping.
Finding the right method is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then tailor the approach as therapy progresses. That collaborative process guides whether sessions lean more toward skills-based CBT, brief solution-focused work, or trauma-informed pacing.
