About Suzanne
Suzanne Walker is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with 38 years of experience. She approaches therapy with warmth and clear listening. Suzanne helps people facing stress, anxiety, sleep problems, addictions, trauma, and other life challenges. She emphasizes building a strong working relationship as the first step toward change.
Suzanne describes counseling as a partnership. She listens, asks questions, and offers observations so the client can make choices that feel right. Her style is person-centered and practical, focusing on what will help in daily life. She supports people through grief, parenting strain, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and the demands of jobs with high pressure.
Her background includes long clinical practice and work as a clinical supervisor. Suzanne has worked in community settings and with the U.S. military, and she has lived in a number of places. That experience informs how she helps people who face discrimination or navigate LGBTQ+ issues. She combines life experience with clinical skills to shape each plan of care.
Suzanne uses a mix of methods that match the person’s needs. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas and acceptance-focused techniques, along with emotion- and attachment-informed work. She and the client decide together which tools to try first.
People who choose Suzanne can expect straightforward guidance aimed at realistic changes. She supports work on sleep and rest concerns alongside issues such as mood, concentration, relationships, and coping with major life transitions.
How Suzanne’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Suzanne uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and still move toward what matters to them. ACT can be useful for anxiety, stress, sleep problems, and coping with chronic illness. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to improve mood, sleep, and daily functioning.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Suzanne will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they pick methods and practical steps that fit the person’s life and priorities rather than following a fixed program.
Please confirm specific session formats before booking, as current options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when days are tight. It also lets people continue care if they move or travel internationally. Licensed professionals tailor pacing, homework, and tools so sessions can focus on sleep routines, emotion regulation skills, or coping strategies that translate into everyday life.
