About Suzanne
Suzanne Sztul is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Pennsylvania who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, and low self-esteem. She also supports those dealing with compassion fatigue and social anxiety or phobia. Her work places attention on real-life concerns like communication problems and the strain that comes with aging and caregiving.
Suzanne favors a straightforward style. She helps clients build resilience and self-compassion through practical steps. Sessions focus on clearer communication, better self-care habits, and small changes that make daily life easier.
Background and approach
Her background includes a Master of Social Work from the University of Pennsylvania and three years of clinical experience. That experience includes supporting older adults and guiding family members through the logistics and emotions of aging. In sessions she aims to meet each person where they are.
Conversations often include problem-solving, practicing new ways to talk with others, and slowing down unhelpful self-criticism. She emphasizes compassion for oneself while working toward clearer goals. Suzanne’s approach is collaborative and down-to-earth.
She helps people turn overwhelming challenges into manageable steps. That can look like short skill-building exercises, check-ins about progress, and planning for next steps.
Therapeutic techniques and online sessions
Two approaches Suzanne emphasizes are skill-based coping and communication-focused work. Skill-based coping teaches simple tools for managing anxiety and stress, such as breath work, paced activities, and short behavioral experiments to test what helps. Communication-focused work helps people practice clearer ways to speak about needs, set boundaries, and repair misunderstandings in relationships.She also centers self-compassion in her work, helping people replace harsh self-criticism with kinder, realistic self-talk. This supports recovery from shame, guilt, and burnout and can make day-to-day decisions feel more manageable.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Suzanne works together with each person to identify goals, current challenges, and what feels most helpful. That collaborative process guides whether sessions emphasize skill practice, communication drills, or self-compassion exercises.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls can mirror an in-person conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow for brief updates, reflection between sessions, and ongoing support without needing a scheduled call.
