About Suzanne
Suzanne Stokes is a Florida LMHC - Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 38 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, self-esteem problems, anger, addictions, grief, parenting concerns, and related life changes. She also supports people dealing with ADHD, compassion fatigue, and issues tied to attachment and loss.
Her sessions focus on clear, practical conversation. She listens for patterns that keep problems looping and helps people try different responses. She uses straightforward techniques to manage strong emotions, reduce overwhelm, and handle conflict with others. Work is paced to what an individual can do between meetings.
Suzanne draws on several established approaches rather than one single method. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify thoughts that feed anxiety or anger and then test new behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages noticing difficult feelings while committing to chosen values. Attachment-Based ideas look at how early relationships shape current patterns.
She keeps the work focused on daily life and realistic steps. That might include short behavioral experiments, practicing different ways to say no, or changing routines that worsen stress. Homework is practical and brief so it fits into busy schedules.
Suzanne has worked across many settings over nearly four decades. Her experience includes caring for people with trauma, addiction, chronic illness, and caregiving stress. Sessions are conducted in English and arranged for adults seeking support in Florida.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions can help
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing feelings and thoughts without getting stuck in them. It helps when anger or anxiety keeps someone from living according to their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers simple experiments to test new responses to triggers. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationships shape current reactions and can clarify patterns that cause repeated conflict.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, daily demands, and what feels workable. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them over time based on what helps in real life.
Confirm the specific online session formats before booking, since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time. It can also let people try exercises between meetings that reflect their everyday settings. If needed, ask which formats are offered so arrangements match your routine and technical comfort.
