About Suzanne
Suzanne Alley is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with 21 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on problems such as depression, anxiety, addiction, trauma, and LGBTQ+ related concerns. Suzanne often helps people facing life transitions, relationship strain, and questions about identity and intimacy.
She uses client-centered methods to keep conversations focused on the person's needs and perspective. Suzanne also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors. Motivational interviewing supports people who want change but feel stuck or ambivalent.
Many people come to her for help with stress, grief, parenting strain, or problems tied to substance use. She also supports those coping with career decisions, ADHD-related challenges, and compassion fatigue from caregiving roles. Her practice includes work with mood disorders and the emotional effects of trauma.
Suzanne aims to help clients set clear, manageable goals and build small skills that fit daily life. Sessions move at a practical pace with a focus on what the client wants to change and how to get there. She offers direct feedback and collaborative problem-solving rather than long abstract discussion.
Clients who are young adults often seek Suzanne out for support with leaving home, starting careers, relationship changes, and feeling behind peers. Her background makes her familiar with questions about sexual orientation and gender identity, and with the emotional fallout of past abuse or loss.
How Suzanne uses therapeutic approaches in online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the client. It helps people clarify their own priorities and make choices that fit their life. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses small experiments to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Suzanne will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they will try methods and adjust the plan as needed rather than sticking to a fixed script.

Some formats are better for shorter check-ins, while others allow longer sessions for deeper work. Ask about which options best match your routine and needs.
