About Suzanne
Suzanne Caldwell is a licensed clinical social worker who uses practical, person-focused therapy to help people facing stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, and relationship struggles. She works from a place of respect and sensitivity. Her style is collaborative and straightforward, with conversations shaped to fit each person’s needs and goals.
Suzanne draws from therapies that teach skills people can use day to day. She blends approaches so sessions can include noticing thoughts, practicing new behaviors, and exploring emotions that show up in close relationships.
Background and approach
She explains ideas plainly and helps people try them out between meetings. With eight years as an LCSW in Florida, Suzanne has worked with a wide range of concerns. She has experience supporting people dealing with addictions, parenting challenges, body image and eating issues, ADHD, career stress, and coping with major life changes.
She also addresses issues such as attachment and abandonment, blended family dynamics, and caregiver stress. Her work includes helping with intimacy-related matters, communication problems, control issues, and recovery from trauma and abuse. She also supports people managing mood conditions like depression and bipolar disorder, and situations involving grief, divorce, or separation.
Suzanne offers a calm, nonjudgmental setting and focuses on practical steps clients can use between sessions. She encourages people to name what they want to change, try small experiments, and notice what helps. The pace is set by the client and adjusted as needs evolve.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts without getting pulled into them and focus on living in line with personal values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping skills. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and uses listening and reflection to help people feel understood and to find their own solutions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Suzanne will discuss options and try methods together to see what fits each person’s needs and goals. The process is collaborative, with adjustments made as progress and preferences emerge.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to schedule around family or work demands and to continue care when travel or life changes make in-person meetings difficult. Licensed professionals can still teach practical skills, coach through difficult moments, and track progress through remote sessions.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
