About Suzanne
Dr. Suzanne Cormier is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 26 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. She works with clients facing relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, self-esteem struggles, and LGBTQ concerns.
She aims to create a calm, straightforward space where people can talk and find practical ways to feel better. Dr. Cormier uses a blend of approaches so sessions match each person's needs.
Background and approach
Much of her work is informed by Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts and actions affect mood. She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas to help people notice and express important feelings, and Client-Centered Therapy to keep the focus on each person’s experience. Her background includes individual counseling, university teaching, student advising, and life coaching.
That mix shaped her interest in positive self-development, building resilience, and easing life transitions. She often supports people who are new to counseling and who want a practical, encouraging partnership. Sessions are offered by video call or phone.
She emphasizes collaboration - clients set goals and Dr. Cormier helps them find steps that fit their life. Her style is interactive and supportive, with an eye toward small changes that add up.
Outside of work she enjoys time with her family, museum volunteering, reading mysteries, and travel. She schedules weekday sessions at different times to help clients find a convenient slot.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches fit into online sessions
Dr. Cormier uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors that can reduce anxiety and improve mood. CBT is practical and often focuses on small, doable changes that show results over time.She also incorporates Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas to help people notice, name, and move through important feelings that influence relationships and personal well-being. That work is useful for anyone wanting clearer emotional understanding and stronger coping skills. Client-Centered Therapy informs her overall stance by keeping the session focused on the client's own goals and experience, with the therapist offering empathy and guidance rather than directives.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Dr. Cormier will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they try methods and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video works well for full conversations and visual cues, phone can fit into a shorter break or quieter time, live chat is useful for quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between meetings.
