About Suzanne
Suzanne Towne is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 15 years of therapy experience based in Tennessee. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, mood concerns, relationship strain, trauma, and a wide range of behavioral health issues. Suzanne speaks English and aims to create a calm, practical space for people to talk through problems and make steady progress.
Suzanne blends straightforward talk with hands-on tools. She draws from approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, and solution-focused work to meet each person where they are.
Background and approach
Sessions emphasize clear goals and small, usable steps that fit daily life. Her background includes many years in mental health work, including roles as a psychiatric registered nurse and as a clinician in community mental health settings. That mix gives her familiarity with complex situations like addiction, eating disorders, and trauma.
Suzanne uses that experience to offer steady, practical guidance rather than abstract theory. In sessions she listens first, then helps people name patterns and test new ways of coping. She supports parents who want concrete strategies for family stress and behavior concerns, and she helps individuals manage anxiety, panic, obsessive thoughts, and mood shifts.
The approach is collaborative and paced to the person's comfort. Therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Suzanne encourages people to try a format that fits their routine and to set small, reachable goals early on.

How Suzanne’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It supports making values-based choices and taking small steps toward a more meaningful life, which can help with anxiety, stress, and parenting challenges.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. In short, it helps people test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors to reduce anxiety, panic, or compulsive patterns. Mindfulness therapy adds simple attention and breathing practices to calm the body and steady focus during stressful moments.
Choosing an approach is part of the work. Suzanne treats selecting methods as a joint process. She will discuss which techniques fit the person’s goals and comfort level, then adjust as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and demonstrations. Phone can be easier when bandwidth or movement is a concern. Text and live chat let people check in between sessions or have shorter, focused exchanges. These options let therapy fit around school, work, and parenting routines.
