About Suzanne
Suzanne DePasquale is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with 18 years of clinical experience. She helps people handle relationship strain, grief, stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, and anger. Sessions also address LGBTQ concerns, trauma and abuse, and compassion fatigue.
Suzanne uses straightforward talk and practical techniques. She draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, the Gottman Method, and mindfulness practices. She aims to help clients notice patterns, try new responses, and reduce reactivity in day-to-day life.
Her background includes long experience with relationship and family issues, divorce and separation, blended family concerns, and communication problems. She also supports people facing caregiving strain, aging and geriatric challenges, hospice and end-of-life situations, and serious health issues like cancer and HIV/AIDS.
Suzanne addresses complex interpersonal patterns such as infidelity, abandonment, narcissistic dynamics, and domestic violence impacts. She works with people affected by autism spectrum experiences and those coping with intimacy-related problems. The focus is on clear goals and practical steps rather than abstract theory.
Sessions tend to blend skill practice, values-focused work, and mindful awareness. Clients can expect an emphasis on building coping skills for anger and stress, improving communication, and managing strong feelings within close relationships. Suzanne accepts international clients and conducts work in English.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking small actions toward those values while learning to observe strong emotions. It can help with anger that gets in the way of relationships or goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is useful for stress, anxiety, and reactive anger. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an open, nonjudgmental conversation where the client’s experience guides the work; it supports exploring feelings and building self-directed coping.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean mixing ACT, CBT, and client-centered techniques across sessions and adjusting methods as progress is made.
Confirm current session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to maintain continuity when schedules or locations change. Licensed professionals help clients apply therapy skills to real life and adapt sessions to practical constraints rather than promising a single fixed format.
