About Suzanne

Suzanne Tyghter is a licensed clinical social worker with 19 years of experience helping people through stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and family conflict. She focuses on practical steps that make daily life easier and supports people who feel stuck during big life changes. Her work often centers on transitions like divorce and caregiver strain.

She helps people manage guilt, shame, and isolation while building more self-love and clearer communication. Sessions aim to be straightforward and goal-oriented so progress is easier to see.

Background and approach

Suzanne blends a client-centered stance with cognitive behavioral techniques. That means she listens closely, matches interventions to what matters to each person, and offers tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. The tone in sessions is warm and collaborative rather than prescriptive.

She draws on nearly two decades of clinical practice in Connecticut. That experience has shaped a calm, steady approach for people facing grief, chronic stress, or shifts in family roles. Suzanne prioritizes small, sustainable changes over quick fixes.

In therapy she focuses on improving communication skills and building daily routines that reduce overwhelm. People work on realistic strategies for handling difficult feelings and repairing strained relationships. The goal is clearer thinking, fewer crisis moments, and more moments of self-compassion.

Online support

How client-centered and CBT approaches work online

Client-centered therapy centers on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. In sessions the therapist reflects concerns, validates feelings, and helps clients set goals that feel authentic. This approach is useful for building self-understanding and strengthening self-love.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses clear tools - such as identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors - to reduce anxiety, depression, or stress. CBT is practical and works well for problem-focused goals like communication or managing caregiver strain.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Suzanne will collaborate with each person to decide whether a client-centered style, CBT techniques, or a mix is best for their needs and goals. The plan can change as progress is made and priorities shift.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people hold a deeper conversation with visual cues, phone calls need less bandwidth and can fit into a work break, and chat or messaging are useful for short check-ins or when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent amid busy lives.
