Dr. Suzanne Cormier, LPC - Therapist in South Carolina

About Suzanne

Dr. Suzanne Cormier welcomes people who are feeling stuck by stress, anxiety, grief, or life changes. She speaks plainly and helps clients find practical steps to feel better.

She works from South Carolina and brings 26 years of experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, to each session. Her style is interactive and supportive. Suzanne leans on cognitive behavioral methods while mixing in other techniques based on each person’s needs.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on small, doable changes and on building strengths that already exist. Her background includes individual counseling, life coaching, university teaching, and student advising. That range has given her practical tools for helping people adjust during transitions and build resilience.

She often works with people who are new to counseling and prefers a straightforward, encouraging pace. Suzanne has a strong interest in positive self-development and motivation. She helps clients break down worry and develop habits that reduce stress and improve everyday functioning.

Humor and everyday joys are part of how she helps people reconnect with what matters. Sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Scheduling is done on weekdays at varying times so clients can find a time that works for them.

Online approaches and how they help

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and respect. The therapist follows the person’s pace, helping them feel heard and understood while working toward their goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce worry and improve daily routines. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and change patterns in relationships and emotional responses to feel more connected and supported.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Suzanne will discuss goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit each person’s needs. Together they try approaches, check what works, and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from home, while phone sessions provide another live option. Live chat and text-based messaging make short check-ins and ongoing support easier between sessions. These formats give flexibility for busy schedules and can make it simpler to attend regular sessions.

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.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
