About Suzanne
Suzanne Towne is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW, LICSW) based in Tennessee who helps people facing stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, mood disorders, addiction, and a wide range of other life changes.
Background and approach
With a focus on practical tools and collaborative problem solving, she draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy among other evidence-based approaches to address issues such as panic, obsessive-compulsive patterns, codependency, and grief.
Suzanne brings 15 years of documented experience in therapeutic practice and a long history in mental health care that includes nursing and work in psychiatric and community settings. She integrates acceptance and mindfulness techniques alongside solution-focused and client-centered methods, tailoring interventions to each person’s needs and comfort level.
She emphasizes that therapy is a client-led process and aims to guide people toward clearer direction and realistic goals. Sessions are offered through multiple online formats that allow for flexible scheduling.
Suzanne works with children, adolescents, adults, families, and couples on a range of concerns including adoption and foster care issues, women’s issues, intimacy-related difficulties, and eating or bipolar disorder management. Her Tennessee licensure is listed as TN LCSW 6620 and AL LICSW 6362C.
Approaches for Online Progress and Practical Change
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, panic, and compulsive problems; it is often used to build concrete skills for daily life. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values and develop psychological flexibility by combining acceptance strategies with committed action toward meaningful goals. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship in which the therapist listens closely and helps clients find their own solutions.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Suzanne works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods align with their needs and preferences. Together they explore goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan if something does not fit, so the path forward reflects the client’s values and pace.
Online sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer practical flexibility for scheduling and engagement. These formats make it easier to access regular care from home or elsewhere and allow the therapist and client to use interactive tools and homework between meetings to reinforce progress.
