Suzanne Knapp is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 12 years of experience. She has worked in schools, outpatient clinics, foster care, domestic violence shelters, group homes, assisted living, and independent practice. Suzanne helps people who want clearer direction, more self esteem, and better day-to-day coping skills.
She takes a practical, conversational approach in sessions. Suzanne listens first, then helps clients set short-term and long-term goals that fit their life and values. She frames work as coaching and therapy together, so people leave with clear next steps.
Her background includes social work, psychotherapy, life coaching, and clinical supervision. That range of settings means she has supported people through trauma, relationship strain, grief, career changes, medical issues, and disaster-related stress. She also has experience with first responder concerns and traumatic brain injury.
Suzanne commonly uses client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and narrative methods. In practice this means identifying unhelpful thoughts, building small behavior changes, and using personal stories to find new meaning.
Sessions are conversational and interactive. Suzanne aims to help people build confidence, notice progress, and practice skills between meetings. She encourages a collaborative pace so goals feel achievable rather than overwhelming.
How Suzanne Uses Talk Therapy and Practical Tools Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's viewpoint and goals. The therapist listens closely and helps people name what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect, and it helps people try small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or low mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve sleep and focus.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Suzanne works with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and preferences. She combines approaches when helpful and adjusts the plan as goals and life circumstances change.
