About Suzanne
Suzanne DePasquale is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida with 18 years of clinical experience. She focuses on relationship strain, family concerns, grief, compassion fatigue, ADHD, stress, anxiety, LGBT issues, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related problems, parenting, and anger. Suzanne helps people who are dealing with major life changes and the ongoing demands of caregiving and caregiving-related stress.
She uses practical talk and evidence-informed methods. Sessions focus on identifying the patterns that cause pain and trying small changes that can make daily life easier. Suzanne draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, the Gottman Method, and Client-Centered approaches to shape the work.
Her background includes many years working with people facing end-of-life decisions, cancer and HIV/AIDS care, and the stresses that come with aging. She also addresses complex relationship dynamics like infidelity, narcissistic patterns, domestic violence, and blended family issues. These topics often come up alongside grief and caregiver burnout.
In conversation she aims for clear goals and practical tools. That might mean learning new ways to talk about hurt, practicing brief mindfulness exercises, or trying specific communication techniques from the Gottman Method. Progress is measured by whether daily routines and relationships feel less strained.
Suzanne accepts clients in English and works with people in Florida. International clients are accepted; confirm current session options before booking. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule their first session.
How sessions work
How Suzanne’s approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small committed actions, which can help with stress, grief, and relationship dilemmas. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, anger, and ADHD-related struggles. The Gottman Method provides concrete communication tools and exercises that can reduce repeated conflict and help improve day-to-day interactions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Suzanne will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then suggest which methods to try first. That decision is collaborative and can shift as needs change over time.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten time spent traveling, and allow quick check-ins when stress spikes. Some formats are better for shorter check-ins while others suit longer conversations or practical skill practice. Ask about the available session types when you complete the matching questionnaire so you can plan sessions that fit your routine.
