About Suzanne
Suzanne Towne is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 15 years of therapy experience and licensure as LCSW and LICSW. She is based in Tennessee and works with adults on stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, anger, self-esteem, ADHD, addictions, relationship and family problems, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and coping with life changes.
Suzanne speaks plainly in sessions and focuses on practical steps people can try between meetings. She uses a mix of approaches and picks techniques that fit the person rather than a single method. Sessions often include talking through patterns, testing small changes, and noticing what does or does not help in everyday life.
Before moving into social work, Suzanne spent many years in mental health settings, including psychiatric nursing and community mental health. That background shaped how she sees complex cases and how to break issues into manageable pieces. Her experience includes work with eating disorders, chemical dependency, and intensive adult psychiatric concerns.
She describes therapy as a collaborative process where the person’s own goals lead the way. Suzanne says she helps people identify options, try short experiments, and adjust plans based on results. She avoids long lectures and keeps sessions focused on concrete skills and decisions.
Suzanne prefers live video or phone sessions for work with clients and does not use live text chat for formal sessions. To get started she asks people to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session to talk about goals and next steps.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Suzanne commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in sessions. ACT helps people notice what matters to them and take small values-based steps even when emotions are strong. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing different ways of responding to reduce anger and anxiety.She also integrates client-centered ideas, which means sessions are guided by the person’s goals and what feels workable. Figuring out which approach fits best is a shared process. Suzanne will suggest options, try them briefly, and adjust based on how each one lands for the client.
She has said she uses live video and phone sessions rather than live text chat for formal therapy. If you need to confirm what formats are currently available, check the online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and remove travel time so people can practice skills between meetings.
