About Suzanne
Suzanne Stokes is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida with 38 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and career concerns. Her style is straightforward and respectful, focused on practical conversations that lead to small, manageable changes.
She uses a few evidence-informed approaches to guide sessions rather than relying on any single method. Clients are invited to talk about what matters most to them and to try techniques that fit their life. Suzanne emphasizes building coping skills for transitions, managing worry, and improving self-esteem.
Her work covers a wide range of issues including grief, trauma and abuse, addiction, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. She also addresses attachment and family of origin concerns, communication problems, and challenges tied to caregiving or chronic illness. The goal is to help people gain more control over daily stress and to find clearer direction in relationships and work.
Suzanne aims to make therapy useful and down to earth. Sessions focus on real-world steps - noticing patterns, testing new behaviors, and rehearsing healthier responses. She listens for values and priorities and helps clients set goals that match their life.
Clients who choose her can expect steady, empathetic support grounded in many years of clinical practice. She works collaboratively to adapt the pace and focus as progress is made.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking action that matches those values. It can help when people feel stuck by encouraging small, value-based steps and new ways to respond to difficult thoughts and feelings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. It teaches practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress by testing unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing alternative behaviors.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to identify which methods match their goals and preferences, and will adjust the focus as progress is made.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as taking a break during a workday or avoiding travel time. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule or for sessions that do not require being on camera. The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available online options before booking to ensure they match your needs.
