About Suzy

Suzy Gold is an LPC with 11 years of clinical experience providing psychotherapy across community, school, and clinical settings in Pennsylvania.

Background and approach

She brings a calm, practical style and works from several evidence-informed approaches, including cognitive behavioral therapy, to help people navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and a wide range of life stressors. Her background includes work in inpatient and outpatient settings as well as community programs, which informs an adaptable, goal-oriented approach to treatment.

Suzy emphasizes a collaborative relationship in which clients’ goals guide the selection of techniques and exercises. She often blends skills-based methods with acceptance-oriented and attachment-informed perspectives to address coping, self-esteem, and relationship or family concerns.

Sessions may include structured skill practice, values-based work, and exploration of relational patterns to build practical tools for everyday challenges. Fluent in English and Korean, she accepts international clients and offers multiple remote session options to fit different schedules.

Her license is PA LPC PC013188 and she tailors pacing and techniques to client needs while remaining attentive to each person’s values and preferences.

Online Therapy Approaches and Practical Access

Suzy uses cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and to teach practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is another tool she uses to help clients clarify values, develop psychological flexibility, and learn how to live with difficult thoughts while pursuing meaningful goals. Attachment-Based Therapy informs her work around relationship patterns and family dynamics by exploring early relational experiences and how they shape current connections.

Choosing the right approach is viewed as a collaborative process. She works with clients to match methods to individual needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts strategies based on what proves most helpful in sessions and daily life.

Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for people with busy schedules or who prefer remote care. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, practice skills between sessions, and fit therapy into real-world routines while working with a licensed professional.
