About Suzanne Towne

Suzanne Towne (Sue) is a licensed clinician who combines clinical training with decades of experience in mental health care. As an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker - and an LICSW - Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker - she draws on a background that includes work as a psychiatric nurse and as a therapist in both inpatient psychiatric and community mental health settings. She has supported people facing eating disorders, chemical dependency, childhood and adult psychiatric disorders, and families involved in therapeutic foster care.

Suzanne believes that individuals often hold the seeds of their own solutions and that therapy can offer guidance to uncover and apply those strengths. She tailors her methods to each person, using a range of techniques and collaborating with children, adolescents, adults, couples, families, and foster parents to pursue clear, achievable goals. Her approach centers on helping people find direction toward improved well-being while honoring each client’s preferences and pace.

For clinical work she favors live video and phone sessions as the most effective ways to connect and engage. She does not conduct sessions via live chat. Suzanne aims to build a trusting therapeutic relationship and to help clients navigate life changes, manage symptoms, and reach the outcomes they seek.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support



Suzanne uses acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify their values and take meaningful actions even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. ACT is useful for people coping with anxiety, stress, or life transitions who want to build a more values-driven life. She also employs client-centered therapy, which emphasizes empathy, active listening, and creating a nonjudgmental space so clients can explore their own goals and solutions - this approach supports growth for individuals, couples, and families.

Additionally, Suzanne uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; CBT can be especially helpful for anxiety, depression, and problem-solving around specific concerns. Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process - Suzanne works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Suzanne is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to attend sessions from home, balance therapy with daily life, and maintain continuity of care when circumstances change.
