About Suzie
Suzie Amacker is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia with 15 years of counseling experience. She welcomes people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain and wants to help them find clearer ways forward. Suzie focuses on practical steps and steady support rather than quick fixes.
She often helps people facing anxiety, stress, life changes, grief, relationship strain, and career or parenting concerns. Her background includes work as a therapist, teacher, and personal coach, which shapes a straightforward, down-to-earth style.
Background and approach
Sessions center on listening first, then building tools that fit each person’s daily life. She uses techniques drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to address thought patterns and values-driven action. Suzie also uses mindfulness practices and hypnotherapy where that fits a person’s needs, aiming to reduce reactivity and increase calm.
She pays attention to life transitions such as aging, retirement, divorce, and changes in family roles. She can help people who are dealing with panic attacks, addictive behaviors, or low self-esteem. People can expect a warm, accepting space where practical skills are taught and practiced.
The work is collaborative - goals are set together and adjusted as progress is made. Suzie emphasizes respectful conversation and steady encouragement while clients try new ways of coping. If someone is ready to begin, the typical next step is a short intake and then scheduling sessions that fit their routine.
Suzie supports clients through gradual change and building skills for long-term use.
How evidence-based approaches work online
Suzie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, panic, and depression and focuses on practical exercises you can do between sessions.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps people clarify values and take committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise. ACT can be useful for stress, life transitions, and ongoing worries that limit daily life.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. Suzie will talk with each person about goals and preferences and recommend strategies that fit their situation. She adjusts methods over time so the work stays relevant and effective.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations and screen sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions can be easier when video isn’t needed or bandwidth is low. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, brief coaching, or people who prefer writing over speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine while still working on anxiety, coping skills, relationships, and life changes.
