About Suzanne

Suzanne Walker is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with 38 years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical, down-to-earth support for people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, depression, grief, and other life challenges. Suzanne aims to make the first step feel possible and less overwhelming for someone who is worried or unsure about therapy.

Suzanne emphasizes the relationship between client and counselor as the foundation for change. She listens, asks clear questions, and helps people identify realistic choices.

Background and approach

Sessions are focused on understanding what matters most to the client and building a plan that fits their life. Her approach blends emotion-focused methods with acceptance and behavioral strategies. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people connect with their feelings, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and actions, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change unhelpful patterns.

She adapts methods to each person instead of using a single formula. Suzanne has long experience working across the age span and with diverse cultures and lifestyles. She has worked in civilian settings and within the U.S. military system, and she has personal experience with military life.

This background informs her understanding of stress, caregiver strain, first responder issues, and related concerns. Work in sessions can include practical tools, skills practice, reflective conversation, and planning for real-life steps. Suzanne aims to help people find clearer choices, better coping, and a path toward their goals.

Online support

How emotion and action come together online

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people get in touch with and make sense of strong feelings so they can respond to them rather than react. This approach is useful when sadness, anger, or fear feels overwhelming and blocks progress.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small, meaningful steps toward them. It is often helpful for stress, anxiety, and navigating life changes where direction and motivation feel unclear.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build new ways of relating to themselves and others. It can be useful for issues with trust, intimacy, and repeated relationship struggles.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Suzanne will work with each person to decide which methods make the most sense for their goals, values, and day-to-day life. She adapts the plan over time based on what is helping and what needs changing.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and preferences. Video is well suited for deeper conversations and skill practice, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging works for brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into work, caregiving, or travel routines.
