Suzanne Tyghter, LCSW

Suzanne Tyghter is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Connecticut with 19 years of experience. She uses an approachable, calm manner to help people facing anxiety, depression, grief, and stress. Parents and caregivers often find her straightforward style reassuring when life feels overwhelming.

Suzanne focuses on practical skills that help with everyday struggles. She teaches ways to manage worry and low mood, and she helps people rebuild self-esteem after loss or separation. Communication problems and family tension are addressed with clear, usable techniques rather than jargon.

When a client is dealing with caregiver strain or the fallout from divorce, Suzanne helps map out steps to reduce burden and find balance. She also works with people wrestling with guilt, shame, or the slow ache of loneliness. Her aim is to restore a sense of agency and connection in daily life.

Her method blends cognitive behavioral ideas with a client-centered way of listening. That means she pays attention to what matters most to each person and introduces tools that fit their situation. Sessions tend to focus on small, concrete changes that add up over time.

Suzanne keeps the work collaborative. She encourages clients to set goals and try practical strategies between sessions. Progress is measured in everyday results - clearer communication, reduced worry, and a stronger sense of self-love.

Online approaches that match your life and goals

Suzanne draws on cognitive behavioral ideas and a client-centered way of working. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety and low mood. It is often used for stress, worry, and depression because it gives clear steps people can try between sessions.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and responding to what matters most to each individual. This approach supports people through grief, relationship shifts, and times of self-doubt by prioritizing their values and pace. Together these approaches balance practical tools with empathetic listening.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Suzanne will talk with each person about goals and preferences and adjust methods to fit their needs. She encourages trying techniques and reviewing what helps, so the plan evolves from real experience.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let you work face to face, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth or camera use is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging supports quick check-ins or ongoing reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to use different formats as needs change.
