About Suzanne
Suzanne Walker is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina with 18 years of experience. She works with adults facing a range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, addiction, mood disorders, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, sleep problems, anger, and career strain. Suzanne also lists ADHD, compassion fatigue, and LGBT concerns among her focus areas.
She draws on practical, evidence-based methods in sessions. Suzanne uses Client-Centered approaches to listen and reflect what matters most to each person. She applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to help people spot and change thinking patterns that feed anger, anxiety, or low mood. Motivational Interviewing is used when substance use or behavior change is part of the work.
Suzanne has worked across outpatient, community, and treatment-center settings. Her background includes individual and group counseling, leading community support teams, and working with people in Medication Assisted Therapy programs. That experience informs how she supports people dealing with co-occurring mental health and substance use issues.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and practical. Suzanne often combines short-term, goal-focused strategies with mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation. She encourages skills people can try between sessions and talks through what helps in real life.
People can expect a direct, skill-oriented style focused on clear steps forward. Suzanne offers video, telephone, and live chat as ways to meet, and she works weekdays, evenings, and some Saturday mornings.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters most to the person. Online sessions can recreate that by using video to see gestures and expressions, or by phone or chat when someone prefers less visual contact. This approach helps people feel heard and clarify what they want to change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical steps to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. In remote sessions Suzanne can guide exercises, assign brief between-session tasks, and review progress to reduce anger, anxiety, and low mood. Mindfulness Therapy offers simple attention and breathing practices to lower reactivity and improve sleep and stress management. These practices adapt well to remote formats and can be practiced between sessions.
Finding the right method is part of the work. Suzanne will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches fit their goals and preferences, adjusting techniques over time as needs change.
The biography lists video, telephone, and live chat as ways she meets. If you need a specific format, confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove the need to travel to an office. These practical benefits are often what helps people keep making steady progress.
