About Suzanne

Suzanne Marin is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in North Carolina who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, intimacy-related concerns, and challenges related to ADHD and bipolar disorder.

Background and approach

She brings eight years of professional experience to her practice and aims to create a welcoming space where clients can explore difficult feelings and life transitions. Suzanne emphasizes healing of body, mind, and spirit while supporting clients as they work toward greater wellbeing.

Her style blends evidence-informed methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and client-centered techniques. She works collaboratively to address relationship and family issues, grief, self-esteem, and complications like impulsivity, infidelity, or isolation.

Suzanne encourages clients to approach therapy as an active journey toward practical coping skills, increased self-understanding, and clearer life purpose. Clients can expect an open, nonjudgmental environment where thoughts and emotions are met with curiosity and respect.

Suzanne supports people through commitment issues, communication difficulties, divorce and separation, somatization, and other concerns, tailoring approaches to each person’s goals and readiness for change.

Practical Approaches for Online Healing and Growth

Suzanne uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop concrete skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT typically focuses on changing thoughts and behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

She also incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which emphasizes accepting difficult emotions while clarifying personal values and taking committed action. ACT can be useful for coping with life changes, chronic worry, and patterns that keep people stuck.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Suzanne works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions over time, combining techniques as needed rather than relying on a single method.

Online therapy with Suzanne is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it possible to access consistent support from North Carolina-licensed professionals while balancing everyday responsibilities and geographic constraints. The variety of formats helps people engage in therapy in ways that feel most manageable for them.
