About Suzanne
Suzanne DePasquale is an LCSW who focuses on relationship and family concerns, grief, compassion fatigue, ADHD, stress and anxiety, LGBT issues, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related problems, parenting, and anger.
Background and approach
She also addresses related challenges such as abandonment, aging and geriatric issues, autism and Asperger Syndrome, blended family difficulties, cancer and caregiver stress, communication problems, divorce and separation, domestic violence, forgiveness, HIV/AIDS, hospice and end-of-life counseling, infidelity, and narcissistic relationship patterns.
Suzanne brings 18 years of clinical experience to her work and accepts international clients while practicing in Florida. Her style blends practical, evidence-informed methods with a compassionate, client-centered stance.
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, and incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness to support emotional regulation and values-driven choices. Suzanne also uses elements of the Gottman Method and narrative approaches when addressing relational dynamics and life transitions.
Clients will find an approach that emphasizes collaboration, clear skill-building, and attention to the emotional realities of difficult life events. She works with each person to clarify goals, test new strategies, and strengthen coping during periods of loss, conflict, caregiving, or major change.
Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Support
CBT helps people notice and reframe unhelpful thinking and to experiment with different behaviors; it is often used for stress, anxiety, ADHD-related patterns, and many everyday difficulties. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy emphasizes noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them while clarifying personal values to guide action, which can be helpful for grief, compassion fatigue, and life transitions. Client-centered therapy focuses on empathetic listening and creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore feelings and make their own choices about change.Determining which approach or combination of methods fits best is part of the collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to clarify goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what feels most useful and aligned with the client's needs and preferences.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats allow scheduling around caregiving, work, or health demands and make it possible to continue consistent work on relationship issues, grief, or stress management even when in-person meetings are difficult to arrange.
