About Suzanne
Suzanne Marin is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and relationship concerns. She combines practical talk with attention to how the body holds emotion. Her approach aims to make therapy feel approachable rather than frightening.
Suzanne works from a belief that mind and body shape each other. She uses Somatic methods alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centered techniques to help people notice physical tension, name difficult feelings, and try small changes.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and grounded in everyday tasks. She focuses on real-life problems like coping with life changes, grief, low self-esteem, anger, and intimacy-related issues. Suzanne also supports people managing ADHD symptoms, bipolar mood concerns, and the long effects of trauma or abuse.
She accepts people of all sexual orientations and helps with LGBT-specific concerns. In sessions she listens without judgment and works with each person to set clear goals. That might mean learning simple grounding practices, testing new ways of talking with others, or trying behavioral experiments between meetings.
The pace follows what each person can handle. Suzanne holds an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker - and practices in North Carolina. She has eight years of professional experience and brings a calm, steady presence to the work.
Her style suits people who want straightforward, body-aware therapy that connects feelings to daily life.
Therapeutic approaches for mind and body online
Somatic work focuses on how sensations in the body relate to feelings and memories; it often uses simple grounding and movement-based practices to help people notice and shift tension. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify values, accept difficult thoughts, and take small steps toward living in line with what matters. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and building a trusting relationship so people can explore their concerns at their own pace.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to choose or blend methods based on their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process lets the pace and techniques match what feels most useful.
Online sessions can use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. These options let people fit therapy into busy schedules, connect from home, and try different ways of checking in between sessions. Licensed professionals can use these formats to guide somatic exercises, coach on coping skills, and hold regular conversations about progress and next steps.
