About Suzanne
Suzanne Shea is a Florida Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with three years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing addictions, family conflict, grief and loss, low self-esteem, and big life changes. Suzanne draws on a past career in sales and business to offer practical, down-to-earth support for everyday problems.
She describes herself as someone who encourages clients to use their existing strengths. Sessions focus on clear steps people can take to manage stress, handle conflict, or build confidence. Suzanne helps people name problems, try small changes, and notice what works for them.
Before training as a social worker, she ran her own business for 15 years and spent over 20 years in sales. That professional background informs a pragmatic approach to problem solving and communication. Her Master of Social Work was completed after she decided to shift careers in 2020.
In session she offers direct feedback, practical strategies, and support for making changes that fit daily life. Topics she commonly addresses include addiction recovery, family of origin issues, blended family issues, codependency, and coping with separation or divorce.
Suzanne asks new clients to choose the online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session to begin. Her work is provided in English and reflects practice based in Florida.
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques here mean using methods that focus on clear skills and behavior change. One common approach is skills-based work that teaches practical tools for managing cravings, urges, or stressful moments. This helps people dealing with addictions and repeated behavior patterns.Another typical method focuses on improving communication and problem solving. That approach breaks down conflicts into manageable steps, teaches ways to set boundaries, and practices new ways of speaking up that can reduce repeated arguments or control struggles in blended households.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Suzanne will collaborate with each person to identify goals, try different techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps. She frames this as an ongoing conversation about what fits a client's needs and daily life.
