About Suzie

Suzie Amacker is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia who brings 15 years of clinical experience to her work.

Background and approach

She approaches therapy with a practical, solution-oriented mindset and draws on cognitive behavioral techniques alongside acceptance and mindfulness-based tools to help clients untangle stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, and career or life-purpose challenges. Clients meet a therapist who values an encouraging therapeutic relationship and who aims to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space for exploration.

Suzie blends client-centered listening with structured strategies from CBT and ACT so people can build skills for coping with change, managing emotions, improving self-esteem, and addressing issues such as addictions, intimacy difficulties, and ADHD-related concerns. Her background also includes work with parenting and family dynamics, aging and geriatric matters, and a range of mood and personality-related struggles.

Suzie helps people move from feeling stuck toward clearer goals, offering coaching-style guidance when appropriate and practical tools that clients can apply between sessions. She works in English and sees clients located in Georgia.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online therapy

Suzie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice new behaviors; this approach is often applied to anxiety, depression, panic, and stress-related issues. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another tool she uses to help people clarify values, accept difficult emotions, and take committed action toward meaningful goals, which can be useful for life transitions and persistent worries.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative rather than predetermined. She works with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences and then blends ACT, CBT, and client-centered techniques where they best serve the person's progress. That flexibility helps tailor sessions to practical concerns and personal style.

Online therapy with Suzie is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats allow clients in Georgia to access consistent care from home or another convenient location, and to continue work between sessions using strategies discussed during meetings.
