Suzanne DePasquale, LCSW - Therapist in Florida

About Suzanne

Suzanne DePasquale is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on relationship and family concerns. She helps people facing grief, stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, and intimacy-related issues. She also supports those dealing with trauma, compassion fatigue, ADHD, anger, and LGBT-related concerns.

Suzanne uses straightforward, practical conversation to help families and adults untangle problems. Sessions tend to focus on goals you name, steps you can try at home, and clearer ways to communicate.

Background and approach

She blends evidence-based methods with attention to emotions and everyday life demands. She holds a license as an LCSW and practices in Florida. Suzanne brings 18 years of professional experience to her work and draws on clinical approaches that help people handle relationship strain, caregiving stress, and major life changes.

Her background includes helping people navigate complex family situations such as blended families, divorce and separation, and caregiving through illness or aging. She also works with issues like domestic violence, infidelity, and communication breakdowns. In sessions Suzanne often uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance-based and mindfulness approaches to reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning.

She also incorporates elements of the Gottman Method when working on relationship patterns and conflict. The focus is on practical steps, clearer communication, and gradual changes that fit each person’s life. People looking for help are guided through an initial matching and scheduling process.

Suzanne offers multiple online session formats to make it easier to connect from different locations.

How Suzanne’s Approaches Help Online

Suzanne often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying values and taking action toward them even when hard feelings are present. This approach helps people shift attention from avoidance to meaningful steps in daily life.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. CBT offers straightforward tools to reduce anxiety, manage stress, and change unhelpful patterns that affect relationships.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Suzanne works with each person to pick techniques that fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. She checks in and adjusts methods over time so the work stays relevant and practical.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to allow flexibility. These options make it easier to attend from different locations, squeeze sessions into busy days, and maintain continuity during life transitions. Suzanne uses the different formats to match the pace and style each person prefers, combining real-time conversation with shorter check-ins when useful.

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.
