Suzanne Walker, LCMHC

Suzanne Walker is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor with 18 years of practice in North Carolina. She has long experience supporting people facing mood and substance concerns. She meets clients where they are and prefers straightforward, practical work in sessions.

She has worked across many settings including outpatient care, community support teams, and treatment programs that used Medication Assisted Therapy. That background means she is familiar with both mental health and substance use challenges. Her experience includes individual and group counseling and coordinating care for people with complex needs.

Suzanne uses approaches that help people make changes in daily life. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. She also uses Client-Centered methods to follow each person’s pace and Mindfulness practices to help manage stress and strong emotions.

People come to her for a wide range of concerns such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, addictions, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, sleep problems, anger, career stress, and ADHD. She also works with aging and geriatric issues and with challenges tied to chronic pain, disability, and blended family situations.

Suzanne offers sessions by video, telephone, and live chat according to what the client prefers. She schedules on weekdays, evenings, and some Saturday mornings. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule based on therapist availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s experience and pace. The therapist listens without judgment and follows what the client brings to sessions, helping people find their own next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thought patterns and try small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, depression, and related symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Suzanne will collaborate with each person to decide which combination of approaches fits best. That choice is based on goals, what has worked before, and what feels most useful in day-to-day life.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule and keep continuity of care when travel or time is an issue. Video sessions let the therapist and client read facial cues and build rapport, while telephone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth or camera use is a concern. Live chat can offer shorter check-ins or a different way to process between longer sessions. Confirm the exact session options offered before booking so you can pick the format that fits your routine.
