About Suzanne

Suzanne Towne is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, relationship strain, grief, trauma, and substance-related issues. She brings clear, direct support for issues like ADHD, eating concerns, bipolar mood struggles, and intimacy-related problems. Her tone is practical and encouraging for someone feeling overwhelmed.

She trained first as a psychiatric nurse and later moved into therapy work, giving her a long history in mental health that began in 1976.

Background and approach

That background includes inpatient psychiatric care and community mental health settings. She has supported people living with eating disorders, chemical dependency, and a range of psychiatric needs, and has experience with therapeutic foster care settings. Suzanne emphasizes a collaborative approach.

She believes people usually know where they want to go and need guidance to get there. Sessions focus on identifying small, practical steps and building skills that fit each person’s life. She adapts techniques to what a person finds helpful rather than using a single method for everyone.

Her main therapy methods include acceptance and commitment strategies, client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral tools, mindfulness, and solution-focused work. These approaches guide conversations about coping skills, values-based choices, and realistic problem-solving. She aims to make sessions straightforward and useful.

Sessions are offered in English and conducted online. Suzanne has 15 years of listed experience as a therapist alongside earlier nursing work, and she holds LCSW in Tennessee and LICSW in Alabama. She encourages a steady, collaborative pace as people work toward the changes they want.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and making changes that matter to the person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical behavior changes to reduce symptoms like panic, obsessive thinking, or low mood. It often involves short exercises and weekly practice between sessions.

The right approach is something Suzanne will find together with each person. She listens to goals, personal preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. From there she blends techniques such as ACT, CBT, mindfulness, or solution-focused steps so the plan fits the person’s life and pace.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect: video calls for in-depth conversations, phone sessions when video is not an option, live chat for brief check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support between sessions. Video lets you use visual cues and deeper dialogue, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat works for faster updates, and messaging helps track progress over time. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep work moving forward with shorter or longer contacts as needed.
