About Suzanne

Suzanne Roberts is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on relationship and family concerns. She aims to make the first step easier for worried parents by offering a calm, nonjudgmental space to talk through problems. Suzanne has 24 years of clinical experience and brings steady, practical support to people facing major life changes.

She listens for what matters most in each family and helps shape small, realistic steps forward.

Background and approach

In sessions she prioritizes openness and clarity, so thoughts and feelings can be named and understood. Her style is straightforward and supportive rather than overly clinical. Suzanne draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify values and take actions that match those values.

She integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop new coping skills. Client-Centered Therapy informs her emphasis on empathy and meeting people where they are. Over two decades in practice in Texas have given her broad exposure to common family struggles such as blended family issues, caregiving stress, and communication problems.

She also works with concerns including anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, and ADHD. Her background includes helping people cope with trauma, domestic violence, and relationship breakdown. Suzanne offers several ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.

She accepts English-speaking clients in Texas and is open to international clients as well. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability.

How Suzanne’s Approaches Work Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people identify what matters most and take small, meaningful steps toward those values. It can be useful when life changes feel overwhelming or when decisions are stalled.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. This approach is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Suzanne will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can be adjusted as therapy moves forward so strategies stay useful.

Online sessions offer flexibility for busy family schedules. Video calls enable face-to-face conversation from home, phone sessions remove travel time, and live chat or text-based messaging provide ongoing support between appointments. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around school, work, and caregiving demands.

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.
