About Suzanne
Suzanne Stokes is a Florida LMHC with 38 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, relationship and intimacy concerns, coping with life changes, addictions, grief and ADHD. She also supports people dealing with career strain, compassion fatigue and issues connected to family and attachment.
Her sessions focus on practical conversation and goal-oriented work. She listens to a person’s story, helps identify what matters most, and offers straightforward strategies to manage symptoms and make choices that fit day-to-day life. Suzanne draws on several evidence-informed approaches to guide that work.
She often uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is part of her toolkit for clarifying values and taking action even with uncomfortable feelings. Attachment-based ideas are used when patterns in relationships or family history are getting in the way.
Suzanne works with adults who are navigating life transitions such as new jobs, relationship changes, or the aftermath of loss and trauma. Her practice also addresses substance and alcohol concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness effects, and first responder issues. She does not accept international clients.
Sessions and scheduling follow the practice’s intake steps. Prospective clients complete a short questionnaire and then arrange a first session. Fees vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps clients identify what matters to them and take purposeful action even when feelings are uncomfortable. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing changes in behavior to reduce symptoms such as worry and avoidance. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns and family history to understand how those patterns affect current connections and intimacy issues.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Suzanne will discuss different methods and together with the client decide which approaches best fit their goals, needs and preferences. That decision can change as therapy progresses and new priorities emerge, and the process is collaborative.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten travel time, reduce the need to rearrange work or study schedules, and allow for quieter surroundings or shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals adapt techniques like CBT and ACT to remote conversation, task assignments between sessions, and joint planning so therapy can be practical and applicable to everyday life.
