Suzanne Towne

Suzanne Towne is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people address stress, anxiety, anger, parenting concerns, and relationship difficulties. She uses straightforward talk and practical tools to help clients manage symptoms and find clearer paths forward. Suzanne brings a calm, patient presence to sessions and aims to build trust with each person she meets.

Suzanne trained first as a psychiatric nurse and later shifted into therapy. She has worked in inpatient psychiatric settings and community mental health for many years. Her background includes supporting people with eating disorders, chemical dependency, severe psychiatric conditions, and those involved in therapeutic foster care.

She believes people often already hold pieces of their own solutions. Her job is to guide, offer skills, and help clients try different ways of responding. Suzanne mixes approaches such as cognitive behavioral strategies, acceptance and commitment ideas, mindfulness, and solution-focused techniques depending on what feels useful to the client.

Suzanne has 15 years listed as a therapist and also draws on earlier clinical experience as a psychiatric RN. She holds LCSW and LICSW credentials and practices from Tennessee. Sessions are offered in English and she asks people to confirm current session options before booking.

Her style is practical and collaborative. Suzanne aims to help people set realistic goals, reduce distressing symptoms, and build routines that support everyday functioning. She encourages clear communication and small, testable steps toward change.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Suzanne uses cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy in ways that can fit remote work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, panic, or anger. Acceptance and commitment therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and comfort level, and may draw on mindfulness or solution-focused techniques as needed. Clients and therapist review progress and adjust methods together.

Session formats were described in the original biography as live video and phone chat, with live text chat not used for therapy sessions, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Discussing what works practically for scheduling and communication is part of the intake process so sessions match everyday life.
