About Suzanne

Suzanne Walker is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor with 38 years of clinical experience. She offers a calm, nonjudgmental presence for people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, trauma, and many life changes. Suzanne emphasizes the value of a strong working relationship as the starting point for change.

She helps people talk through pain, difficult decisions, and problems that build up over time. Suzanne listens, asks practical questions, and works with each person to design clear steps toward their goals. She draws on a range of therapeutic approaches to match the work to the person's needs.

Her background includes clinical work and supervision across community and military settings, and decades of experience living as a military family member. That experience informs her understanding of military life and first responder issues. She also has experience helping people from diverse cultures and LGBTQ+ communities.

Suzanne uses a person-centered, holistic approach that combines counseling methods to fit each situation. Examples of approaches she draws on include cognitive-behavioral strategies, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-based perspectives, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy. She emphasizes practical tools alongside reflection and values-driven goals.

She will collaborate on a treatment plan that feels workable for daily life. Suzanne encourages people to take the first step and will help them identify manageable choices and actions toward healing and growth.

How conversational approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and take small, values-based steps toward those goals. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with stress, anxiety, sleep, and mood difficulties. Attachment-Based Therapy centers on relationships and emotional patterns formed early in life and can be helpful for intimacy issues and long-standing relational concerns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Suzanne will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Confirm current online session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for consistent appointments during life transitions. Some formats are better for shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited, while others let people use video for exercises and deep conversations. The therapist will discuss practical arrangements and help tailor sessions to everyday routines.
