Suzanne Marin, LCSW

Suzanne Marin is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and intimacy-related concerns. She also supports people facing relationship and family issues, grief, anger, low self-esteem, bipolar disorder, and attention concerns. Suzanne frames therapy as a collaborative process where people take small steps toward feeling better.

She keeps sessions direct and practical. Suzanne uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as one approach to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered methods to help people clarify values and build self-compassion.

Her style is warm and nonjudgmental. Suzanne aims to create a space where thoughts and feelings can be discussed honestly. She focuses on skills you can practice between sessions so changes are easier to carry into daily life.

Suzanne has eight years of experience and holds an LCSW credential in North Carolina. Her background includes supporting people through trauma, recovery from relationship hurt, and life transitions such as separation and aging-related concerns.

She works with a wide range of topics including commitment and communication problems, intimacy and infidelity issues, post-traumatic stress, self-harm thoughts, and struggles with purpose or isolation. Sessions are offered in English and delivered through several remote formats to fit different schedules and needs.

How Suzanne’s Approaches Work Online

CBT focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. Online CBT sessions usually involve identifying patterns that keep problems going and trying out new ways of thinking or acting to reduce anxiety or depression. ACT helps people notice what matters most to them and commit to small actions that align with those values, which can be useful for life changes and low mood. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship; the therapist listens, reflects, and helps people find their own answers and strengths.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Suzanne will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then use techniques that fit those needs. That process is collaborative so adjustments can be made as progress is monitored.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual connection for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for short check-ins, skill practice, or when a written record of thoughts helps. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy days and to continue therapy from whatever schedule or location suits the person.
