About Suzanne
Suzanne Stokes is a licensed mental health counselor with 38 years of practice in Florida. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, self-esteem problems, grief, and addiction. Suzanne listens closely and focuses on what matters most to each person.
Her sessions are grounded in attachment-based ideas and practical therapies.

Background and approach
Conversations are straightforward and paced to each person's needs. Suzanne works with people coping with life transitions, career strain, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and first responder challenges. She also supports those dealing with family of origin issues, blended family concerns, and intimacy or commitment worries.
Her approach addresses both everyday coping and deeper patterns that can keep people stuck. Therapy sessions focus on real skills and on exploring feelings that matter. Suzanne encourages people to try small behavioral changes, practice emotional awareness, and make choices that reflect their values.
She aims to help clients leave sessions with something they can use between meetings. Over nearly four decades she has kept a practical, respectful style. Suzanne emphasizes collaboration, steady support, and helping people build resilience one step at a time.

Online support
How attachment work and ACT translate to online therapy
Attachment-based ideas emphasize the ways early relationships shape how people connect and respond to stress; online sessions can help identify those patterns and practice new ways of relating. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values, mindfulness, and committed action to reduce suffering and increase meaningful living, which can be practiced between sessions and tracked remotely. Client-centered therapy centers the person's experience and promotes a trusting, accepting space where people can talk through difficult feelings and decisions.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Suzanne will discuss goals, preferences, and daily routines to choose methods that fit each person. She collaborates with clients to try different techniques and adjusts the plan as needed based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people read facial cues and do deeper conversation. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat or text-based messaging makes brief check-ins, homework, or mood tracking easier between meetings. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and keep momentum between sessions.
