About Suzanne
Suzanne Marin is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, intimacy-related concerns, depression, and relationship problems. She uses straightforward talk and practical tools to help clients handle life changes and improve day-to-day functioning.
Background and approach
Suzanne writes in a direct, calm style that aims to make starting therapy feel less intimidating. Suzanne draws on several therapy approaches to meet each person's needs.
She uses client-centered methods to listen without judgment and to build mutual trust. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy supply concrete skills for emotion regulation and behavior change.
Her experience includes work with grief, anger, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and issues tied to aging and life transitions. Suzanne also supports people dealing with infidelity, commitment questions, communication problems, and isolation or loneliness.
She brings eight years of practice to these concerns and focuses on practical steps people can try between sessions. Suzanne is licensed as an LCSW in North Carolina.
She offers sessions in English and does not take international clients. Her approach centers on collaborating with each person to set goals and pick strategies that make sense for their life.
Sessions combine short-term skill building with longer-term exploration when needed. Suzanne encourages small experiments and everyday practices to test what helps.
She aims for a clear plan so clients leave sessions with something to try before the next meeting.
Therapeutic approaches and online options
Gottman Method focuses on practical communication and interaction patterns. It looks at how people relate to one another and offers exercises to change unhelpful habits and rebuild connection, which can help with intimacy-related concerns and recurring conflicts.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and then choose actions that align with their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a nonjudgmental listening stance and meeting each person where they are, which helps build trust and clarity about goals.
Choosing an approach is a shared process. Suzanne will work together with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. She may combine approaches and adjust the plan over time so it fits current needs.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for people who prefer writing, need brief check-ins, or want more frequent asynchronous contact. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and different lifestyles.
