About Suzanne
Suzanne Brabant is a Florida-based licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She brings 20 years of experience and a straightforward, respectful approach. Suzanne aims to make the first step feel possible and to support clients as they work toward clearer goals and greater emotional balance.
In sessions she centers the conversation on each person's strengths. She listens first, then helps identify small, practical steps to reduce worry and improve day-to-day coping.
Background and approach
Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth, with attention to what works for the individual rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. Suzanne draws on techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors. She also uses client-centered methods to reflect concerns and build trust, and solution-focused ideas to set short-term, achievable targets.
Motivational interviewing helps when motivation or ambivalence is part of the struggle. She has helped people facing issues such as chronic pain, panic attacks, obsessive thoughts, postpartum mood shifts, compassion fatigue, and challenges connected to military or first responder roles. Suzanne also supports people working through grief, end-of-life concerns, forgiveness, and questions about life purpose.
Sessions are offered in English and are available to international clients. Suzanne works with practical tools, clear goals, and respectful conversation to help people move forward at their own pace.
Approach and access with online care
Suzanne uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice patterns in their thinking and try out different responses to reduce anxiety and mood symptoms. CBT breaks problems into thought-feeling-action links so small changes can lead to better daily functioning.She also follows a client-centered approach that focuses on listening and building a trusting working relationship. This method helps people feel heard and shapes the work around each person’s values and goals. Solution-focused ideas are often added to set short-term, achievable goals and track progress during online sessions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Suzanne will discuss preferences, goals, and what has or hasn’t helped before recommending techniques. Together they adjust methods over time so the plan fits the client’s needs and life circumstances.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for full conversations and visual cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quicker check-ins, and messaging lets people share updates between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping continuity of care.
