About Suzanne
Suzanne Marin is a licensed clinical social worker in North Carolina who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and trauma. She also supports those facing depression, relationship struggles, grief, and issues tied to identity and self-esteem.

She keeps sessions direct and practical. Suzanne listens closely and helps clients notice patterns that keep problems repeating.
Background and approach
Together they build small, doable strategies to manage strong emotions and improve daily functioning. Suzanne uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to challenge unhelpful thoughts, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and take meaningful action, and Client-Centered methods to keep the conversation grounded in the client’s priorities.
In sessions she focuses on skill-building and real-world practice. That might look like learning breathing and grounding techniques, testing new ways of communicating, or setting steps to handle a difficult situation differently. Progress is tracked by what changes in daily life rather than complex theories.
She has eight years of clinical experience as an LCSW. Suzanne aims to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where people can work through painful experiences and regain a sense of control. Many clients choose this approach when they want practical tools and steady support for life’s challenges.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Suzanne often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change patterns of thinking that worsen mood or anger. CBT focuses on practical exercises and simple experiments to test new ways of thinking and behaving.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps clients clarify personal values and take small, committed steps toward them even when emotions are strong. ACT is useful for people who want to act more in line with what matters to them despite difficult feelings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. Suzanne treats therapy as a collaborative process and will help figure out which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences. She adjusts the mix of techniques as progress and needs evolve.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let therapists read facial cues and work in real time. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow brief, flexible contacts and written reflections between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping a steady therapeutic plan.
