About Suzanne
Suzanne Stokes is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 38 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and self‑esteem concerns. She supports people facing grief, addiction, parenting strain, career pressure, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and a wide range of life changes. Suzanne aims to make therapy understandable and practical for someone juggling everyday demands.
She uses a blend of approaches to meet each person's needs rather than one fixed method. In sessions she listens closely, helps people name what matters to them, and works with them to try small, achievable changes. Conversations focus on real situations and on skills that can be practiced between meetings.
Suzanne often draws on cognitive behavioral tools to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to support values-based choices, and Attachment-Based work to look at how early relationships shape current connection and trust.
Over nearly four decades she has helped people tackle issues from workplace stress and family-of-origin patterns to trauma recovery and identity questions. Her style is direct and empathic, with room for practical planning and emotional processing. She invites clients to set clear goals and to review progress together.
Sessions take place in Florida and are conducted in English. People interested in working with Suzanne start by using the site’s Start Therapy button, completing a brief matching questionnaire, and scheduling according to her availability.
How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and take small actions in service of those values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress when someone wants to make purposeful changes despite difficult feelings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and then test and change them with practical exercises. It often works well for anxiety, low mood, and coping with life transitions because it breaks problems into manageable steps.
Attachment‑Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current trust and closeness. This work can help people who struggle with intimacy, communication, and recurring relationship conflicts.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Suzanne will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person's goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can shift over time as progress is made.
Because the therapist’s session formats are not specified in the biography, confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check‑in meetings when needed, and remove travel time. It also supports continuity across life changes so people can keep working on goals even when routines shift.
