About Suzanne
Suzanne Walker is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina with 18 years of experience. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, bipolar disorder, and self-esteem. Suzanne also lists blended family issues among her focus areas and often helps people who are navigating relationship and family stress.
Her background includes work across outpatient clinics, community mental health, and substance use treatment programs. She has provided individual care, group counseling, and services connected to medication assisted therapy for opioid use. She has experience with people referred by courts and with those who have needed inpatient care.
Suzanne uses several practical methods in sessions. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at thinking and behavior patterns. She uses Client-Centered (Person-Centered) techniques to keep sessions focused on the client's perspective. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused approaches help when someone wants clear steps and short-term goals.
Sessions can include discussion of mood disorders, trauma, grief, chronic pain, communication problems, and issues related to LGBTQ+ identity. Suzanne also addresses career stress, compassion fatigue, and parenting-related strains like blended household challenges. She keeps language direct and aims for concrete, usable strategies.
She prefers video work for getting to know people but also offers telephone and live chat options as alternatives. Costs vary by location and are handled through a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches work in remote sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the client says. In practice this means the therapist follows the client's concerns and helps clarify priorities and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT is often used to break unhelpful patterns and practice new skills for anxiety, depression, and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Suzanne will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit best. She checks goals and adjusts techniques as needs and preferences become clearer, so therapy stays practical and goal-oriented.
The original biography mentions video, telephone, and live chat as ways she interacts. If you are unsure which option suits you, confirm current session formats before booking. One practical benefit of working with a licensed professional online is being able to fit sessions into a busy week without traveling. Shorter check-ins can work well by phone or chat, while video sessions can help when visual feedback is useful. Online work can make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to schedule sessions outside typical work hours.
