About Suzanne
Suzanne Knapp is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 12 years of experience. She practices from New Mexico and has worked in many settings, including foster care, shelters, schools, assisted living, outpatient clinics, and independent practice. Suzanne helps people who want clearer purpose, stronger self-esteem, and better coping during life changes.
Her approach is down-to-earth and interactive. Sessions are collaborative and focused on practical steps that fit each person's day-to-day life.
Background and approach
She blends listening with straightforward techniques to help people handle stress, anxiety, depression, and other concerns. Suzanne uses approaches such as client-centered work, cognitive behavioral methods, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and narrative techniques. She draws from these tools to help people change unhelpful thoughts, build useful routines, and notice patterns that get in the way of goals.
Treatment is shaped by what each person brings to the room. She has supported people dealing with trauma and abuse, grief, compassion fatigue, relationship issues, and challenges like ADHD and bipolar mood concerns. Suzanne also focuses on career questions, parenting stress, sleep problems, and life after a disaster or traumatic brain injury.
Conversations with Suzanne often include coaching-style goal setting and skills practice between sessions. She aims to help clients leave with clear next steps and more confidence in handling everyday stressors.
How Suzanne’s approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy emphasizes the person's own goals and perspective. In practice this means the therapist listens closely and helps shape goals based on what the person values and wants to change. It is useful for building self-esteem and clarifying life purpose.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It uses clear experiments and homework to test new ways of thinking and acting, which can be helpful for anxiety, depression, sleep trouble, and anger. Mindfulness Therapy teaches skills to notice thoughts and bodily reactions without getting swept away by them, which can reduce stress and improve emotional regulation.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify goals and try techniques that fit their situation. Adjustments are made as needed so the plan stays practical and relevant.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face work and guided exercises. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or a lower-bandwidth option. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions or use written reflection when that feels easier. These options support flexibility while focusing on the same therapeutic goals and techniques used in traditional sessions.
