About Suzanne
Suzanne Walker is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with 38 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, ADHD, grief, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, as well as a wide range of life challenges. Suzanne also supports those dealing with career strain, caregiver stress, chronic illness and issues related to LGBTQ concerns.
She begins by listening and asking practical questions to clarify what is most pressing. Sessions focus on identifying choices and concrete steps a person can take, not on labels. Suzanne aims to develop a plan with each person that fits their life and goals.
Her background includes an M.S. in Counseling Psychology earned in 1984 and decades of clinical work and supervision. That experience includes work in community settings and as a Department of Defense provider, and many years living in military communities. Those roles inform how she approaches stress, first responder issues, and the particular strains military life can bring.
Suzanne describes the relationship between counselor and client as the core of effective work. She uses person-centered methods alongside techniques from cognitive behavioral approaches and acceptance-based work. She draws on a range of skills to match the approach to the person’s needs.
People who come for help will find practical tools for coping, strategies for managing emotions, and support working through difficult decisions. Suzanne works with adults across different backgrounds and cultures and accepts international clients for remote work where arrangements allow.
How Suzanne’s approaches work in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and clarifying values to guide actions. It can help when worry or avoidance make everyday life harder. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and uses practical exercises to reduce anxiety and improve mood. It is commonly used for phobias, panic, and persistent worry. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how close relationships affect emotional responses and can be useful when relationship patterns or early experiences influence current stress.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to what is most important, discuss options, and try methods that fit the person’s needs and goals. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps.
