About Suzanne
Suzanne Walker is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor with 38 years of practice. She offers steady, experienced support for people facing stress, loss, addiction, anxiety, and other life challenges. Suzanne speaks plainly and listens first so clients can find workable steps forward.
She believes the relationship between client and counselor is the central part of change. Suzanne uses a person-centered approach, so sessions begin with understanding each person’s situation and priorities. She helps people name the choices they have and decide what matters most to them.
Her clinical background spans many therapy approaches, and she draws on those methods to match strategies to each person. Suzanne has experience with trauma and abuse, mood and anxiety struggles, ADHD, grief, eating and sleeping problems, and issues that come with chronic illness or caregiving. She also supports people facing substance use concerns and compassion fatigue.
Suzanne has worked with adults, adolescents, and children over decades of practice, including time as a Department of Defense provider and as a military family member. That background informs her understanding of military life and its stresses. She also has a long history of working with LGBT people and allies and focuses on nonjudgmental, respectful care.
In sessions she listens, asks straightforward questions, and helps plan practical, individual steps. The work is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs, whether the goal is managing symptoms, improving coping, or making life changes.
Approaches that guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then commit to actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and coping during major life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through practical exercises and experiments, which is useful for anxiety, mood, and sleep issues. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early or important relationships shape expectations and responses, helping people improve connection and emotional regulation.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Suzanne will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and together decide which methods to try. Treatment plans are made collaboratively and can be adjusted as the work progresses.
Session logistics should fit into daily life, so please confirm the specific online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to schedule sessions around work or caregiving, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Many people find that doing therapy from a familiar setting helps them use new skills in real situations, and Suzanne will help tailor sessions to practical routines and goals.
