More about Suzanne

  • 14 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW, LICSW

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker licensed in Rhode Island and Massachusetts with 7 years of direct psychotherapy experience working with individuals from many backgrounds and ages. In addition, I have over 12 years experience mentoring youth and families and over 8 years as a life coach for women struggling with health and body issues. I have worked with individuals with a wide range of concerns including depression, relationship and intimacy issues, sexual dysfunction, parenting problems, discipline strategies, trauma related issues and borderline personality disorder. I also specialize in anxiety related disorders as I have experienced the toll that stress and anxiety can take on your everyday life.

My counseling style is warm, interactive, and goal oriented. I believe in treating everyone with respect and compassion. I also don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, solution focused, psychodynamic, and rational-emotive counseling. I also have vast experience with DBT (Dialect Behavioral Therapy) and Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT). I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

It takes courage to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!

About online counseling

Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
