About Suzanne
Suzanne Knapp is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 12 years of experience. She practices in New Mexico and has worked across settings such as foster care, domestic violence shelter, schools, assisted living, outpatient clinics, and private practice.
Suzanne helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, grief, depression, and life changes.

Her work includes coaching people seeking greater clarity about life purpose and self-worth.
Her counseling style is described as eclectic, engaging, and interactive. Sessions focus on practical goals the person wants, not what others expect. She favors creating personal and professional steps that fit an individual's interests and skills.
Clinically, she draws on Client-Centered ideas and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques, combined with solution-focused and narrative elements. She also uses motivational interviewing and mindfulness tools when they fit the client's needs. This mix is used to help people notice unhelpful patterns, test new behaviors, and track progress over time.
Suzanne values straightforward conversation and collaborative planning. People who want to work on specific issues such as anger, coping with change, or improving sleep and relationships may find her practical approach useful.

Approaches used and how online sessions can help
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's perspective and priorities. It involves listening without judgment and helping people identify goals they want to pursue. This approach is useful for building self-understanding and clarifying life purpose.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. CBT helps people notice patterns that feed anger or anxiety and try small behavioral experiments to change them. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and grounding skills that can reduce reactivity and improve sleep and focus.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to choose approaches based on what the client wants to accomplish, current concerns, and personal preferences. Sessions adjust over time as progress is tracked and goals shift.
Session formats should be confirmed before booking, as the biography does not list specific online options. In general, online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use voice-only sessions if they prefer less bandwidth or no camera. Check the platform's booking steps to learn the exact session formats available for scheduling.
