About Suzanne
Suzanne Towne, LCSW, LICSW offers therapy for people dealing with stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, mood disorders, and relationship struggles. She also supports those facing adoption and foster care concerns, grief, trauma, addictions, and issues with self-esteem and intimacy. Suzanne speaks plainly and aims to create a calm space where clients can talk through what matters most to them.
Suzanne has 15 years of experience as a licensed clinical social worker and a long career in mental health that began in psychiatric nursing. She has worked in inpatient psychiatric settings and community mental health, and has experience with eating disorders, chemical dependency, and intensive psychiatric concerns. That background informs a practical, grounded approach to care.
Her sessions focus on helping people find their own solutions rather than telling them what to do. She uses a mix of approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered work, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, and Solution-Focused methods. Suzanne adapts techniques to what each person prefers and needs.
She has worked with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and foster parents in therapeutic foster care settings. Suzanne prefers live video or phone sessions and does not use live chat for therapy because she finds it less effective for engagement.
Suzanne practices in Tennessee and holds both LCSW and LICSW credentials. If someone is unsure about next steps, she encourages using the site matching tools to find a good fit and to schedule a session based on therapist availability.
How her approaches shape online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going and is often used for anxiety, panic, and mood concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens closely and mirrors what matters to the client.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Suzanne will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels useful, and then try methods that fit the person. The process is collaborative and flexible, with methods adjusted as progress is made.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy life and reducing travel time. Video sessions allow for face-to-face conversation, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed.
