About Suzanne
Suzanne Tyghter is a Connecticut licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 19 years of practice. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, family conflict, and issues around self-esteem. She also addresses caregiver stress, communication problems, divorce and separation, forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation, and self-love.
Suzanne uses straightforward conversation to help people name what they are feeling and figure out practical next steps. Sessions focus on listening closely, reflecting back what matters, and trying simple ways to change unhelpful patterns. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow a person’s concerns and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to build new thoughts and habits when those help.
People often come for help after a breakup, when caregiving becomes overwhelming, or when shame and guilt keep them stuck. Suzanne pays attention to how relationships and everyday routines affect mood and self-worth. She offers ways to practice different behaviors between sessions so progress can continue outside the appointment time.
Her style is collaborative and direct. She supports people who want clearer communication skills, steadier mood, or a kinder view of themselves. Practical tools and steady listening are balanced in sessions to help people make changes at a manageable pace.
To start, she asks about your main concerns and what you hope will be different. That helps shape a short-term plan and decide which methods to use together.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters to the person. Online sessions using this approach often spend time clarifying the most pressing feelings and goals, and then tracking small changes that feel doable. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In an online setting CBT can be used to spot patterns, test different ways of thinking, and plan brief behavior experiments between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Suzanne will discuss how Client-Centered methods and CBT might help with your specific concerns and will collaborate with you to choose what to try first. That means adjusting methods over time based on what is most useful for your goals and preferences.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week and to keep momentum between sessions. Some people prefer shorter check-ins or phone talks when scheduling is tight, while others choose longer video meetings to practice communication skills in real time. These practical choices are discussed together to fit sessions into everyday life.
