About Suzanne
Suzanne Knapp is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 12 years of experience delivering mental health support in New Mexico. She has worked in a range of settings and now helps people clarify goals, build confidence, and face life’s challenges. Suzanne emphasizes practical steps and straightforward conversation.
She aims to make therapy feel like coaching and real problem solving. Suzanne draws on a mix of approaches to match a person’s needs.
Background and approach
She uses client-centered work to follow what matters most to the individual. She applies cognitive behavioral techniques to help change unhelpful thinking and behaviors. Motivational interviewing and narrative ideas also appear when clients want to shift direction or rewrite their personal story.
Sessions are conversational and interactive. Suzanne likes to set clear, achievable goals that reflect each person’s strengths and values. She avoids one-size-fits-all plans and instead builds steps that fit daily life and real responsibilities.
People come to her for many concerns, including stress, anxiety, anger, grief, relationship and family questions, sleep struggles, career decisions, and identity issues like LGBT concerns. She also supports those coping with trauma, compassion fatigue, and the fallout of disasters or first responder stress.
Her background includes social work in foster care, group residences, domestic violence shelters, schools, assisted living, outpatient clinics, and independent practice. That variety informs a practical, flexible style focused on what helps now and what moves someone forward.

How Suzanne’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening carefully and following what matters most to the person. Online sessions use that same listening-first stance to help someone name priorities and set goals that fit their life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and actions that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change them. In online sessions Suzanne can guide thought records, behavioral experiments, and step-by-step practice that people can try between meetings.
Mindfulness therapy trains attention and calm through simple exercises and grounding practices. These short practices work well during video or phone sessions and can help with anxiety, sleep, and anger management.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Suzanne collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and daily responsibilities. She adjusts tools over time based on what helps most.
Online formats offer practical benefits. Video calls are close to an in-person conversation and let the therapist observe nonverbal cues. Phone sessions may be easier when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text allow brief check-ins, quick problem-solving, or ongoing support between sessions. These options make scheduling more flexible and help people fit therapy into busy lives.
