About Suzanne
Suzanne Snyder is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in South Carolina with 22 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, relationships, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Suzanne names guilt and shame among the emotional issues she addresses and works with people on attachment and communication difficulties.
She uses straightforward, person-focused work in sessions. That can include talking through upsetting thoughts, practicing skills to change unhelpful behavior patterns, and learning ways to notice and regulate strong emotions. Suzanne also draws on mindfulness to help slow reactivity and on motivational interviewing to support gradual change.
Her background includes long clinical experience with workplace issues, midlife transitions, caregiver stress, and relationship patterns that affect daily functioning. She often helps people untangle control issues and feelings of isolation that feed shame or guilt. Practical skills for clearer communication are a common focus.
Suzanne describes her style as collaborative and client-centered. She pays attention to attachment patterns and how past relationships shape current responses. Sessions move at a pace set by the person seeking help, with options to try different techniques when needed.
People who come for help may work on forgiveness, building self-love, managing impulsivity, or finding clearer life purpose. She also lists gender dysphoria and HIV/AIDS among areas she addresses and supports people dealing with those concerns.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the person says so they can notice patterns and choices. This approach helps people who carry guilt or shame by prioritizing their perspective and pacing the work to their readiness.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers concrete tools to change thoughts and behaviors that keep guilt and anxiety active. CBT work online can involve written exercises, thought records, and practicing new responses between sessions.
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity to painful memories or self-critical thoughts. Those exercises can be introduced and guided during sessions and then used in daily life.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before, and then pick methods together. That collaborative choice can change over time as needs shift.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, a shorter check-in when time is limited, or scheduling around work and caregiving. Discuss practical preferences during the initial questionnaire and first appointment so sessions fit routine needs.
