About Suzanne
Suzanne Stokes is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 38 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem concerns, parenting strain, grief, addictions, and difficulties linked to relationships and intimacy.
She works in a straightforward, person-focused way. Sessions are practical and conversational. She uses methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based approaches to help people notice patterns and try new responses.
Clients can expect clear goal-setting and tools to manage everyday problems. Suzanne often focuses on coping with life changes, addressing communication problems, and reducing the impact of trauma or chronic stress. She also supports people wrestling with career strain, caregiver fatigue, substance issues, or ADHD-related struggles.
Her background spans nearly four decades of seeing adults in Florida. Suzanne draws on client-centered and existential ideas when a situation calls for exploring meaning, values, or identity concerns. She describes therapy as a cooperative process in which she helps people test changes and track progress.
Practical matters such as scheduling and fees vary by location. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking and follow the site's process to begin.
How sessions work
Approaches used in online sessions and how they help
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying values and taking small actions that align with them. It helps when anxiety, avoidance, or low mood get in the way of living the life someone wants.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, behaviors, and feelings to find practical changes. It is useful for stress, anger, anxiety, and patterns that keep repeating at home or work.
Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns influence current connections. This can help people who notice recurring trust or closeness problems and want clearer ways to relate to others.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose and adjust methods based on needs, goals, and personal preferences. Sessions can mix styles so the plan fits what the person wants to accomplish.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, since the biography does not specify formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with the therapist during the initial match and scheduling steps about which session arrangements best fit everyday routines.
