About Suzanne

Suzanne DePasquale is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 18 years of experience practicing in Florida. She works with people who are dealing with relationship strain, family conflict, grief, compassion fatigue, ADHD, stress, anxiety, LGBT concerns, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, parenting challenges, and anger. Sessions are conducted in English and she also accepts international clients.

Suzanne draws on several evidence-informed approaches to help people manage strong feelings and rebuild connection. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify values and commit to meaningful action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is part of her toolbox for spotting unhelpful thinking and trying practical behavior changes.

The Gottman Method informs her work on communication and trust in close relationships. Client-Centered Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy are woven in to support present-moment awareness and self-reflection. Her aim is to combine these approaches into straightforward, usable strategies rather than theoretical discussion.

She has particular experience with issues that often overlap with anger, including abandonment, infidelity, communication problems, blended family stress, and caregiving strain. Suzanne also supports people facing aging or end-of-life concerns, cancer or HIV/AIDS related stress, and the impacts of domestic violence or narcissistic relationship patterns.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps clarify what matters most to a person and encourages small steps toward those values. It can be useful for reducing reactive behavior and for handling stuck patterns that feed anger. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying thought patterns that lead to emotional escalation and practicing specific behavior changes to respond differently. The Gottman Method offers concrete tools for repairing communication and rebuilding trust in close relationships.

Finding the right mix of approaches is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and help decide which methods to try first. Sessions may shift focus as progress and needs emerge, with client input guiding the plan.

The profile does not list explicit session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions fit into daily life more easily because they reduce commute time and can be scheduled around work or caregiving duties. Online work can allow shorter check-ins when needed, or focused sessions that practice communication skills between partners. Licensed professionals generally adapt exercises and homework for digital sessions so therapeutic work remains practical and usable.
