About Suzanne
Suzanne Walker is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with 18 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, anger, relationship problems, and related issues. Suzanne uses practical talk and structured techniques to help people manage daily pressures and strong emotions.
She has worked across many settings, including outpatient clinics, community support teams, and treatment centers. That background means she is familiar with both mental health diagnoses and substance use concerns. Suzanne has experience running individual and group sessions and has supported people involved with medication assisted therapy for opioid dependence.
In sessions she draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness, and Solution-Focused Therapy. That mix lets her combine thought-focused exercises, goal-oriented strategies, and present-moment awareness depending on what a person needs. She often uses practical skills to reduce reactivity and improve day-to-day functioning.
Suzanne says she prefers video sessions so people can get to know each other, but she also offers telephone and live chat when that is easier. She works with adults on concerns such as bipolar disorder, grief, intimacy-related issues, sleeping problems, career strain, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
Her practice is based in North Carolina and she conducts sessions in English. People are asked to use the site matching questionnaire to schedule a first session and to confirm the current session options before booking.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so a person feels heard and can clarify what matters most. It helps when someone wants a respectful, person-led conversation about how they react under stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to reduce strong reactions and manage mood. CBT is often used for anger, anxiety, depression, and sleep problems because it breaks issues into steps that can be practiced between sessions.
Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple attention and grounding exercises to reduce reactivity and increase awareness of bodily signals. These practices can be used to notice the first signs of anger or anxiety and to choose a different response.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and comfort level, and may adjust those choices over time based on what helps most.
If you plan to use online sessions, confirm the exact session formats available before booking. The therapist has said she prefers video but also offers telephone and live chat options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, keep short check-ins, avoid travel time, or use a lower-bandwidth option like phone when video is difficult.
