About Tory
Tory Suehs is a licensed professional counselor in Wisconsin with 18 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety and works with individuals on relationship concerns, trauma, parenting challenges, and mood-related struggles. Tory aims for straightforward, respectful conversations.
She listens first, then builds a plan that fits each person's situation. Sessions emphasize practical skills people can try between meetings to reduce anxiety and handle everyday stressors.
Background and approach
Her approach draws on several methods. Cognitive behavioral techniques help identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking. Mindfulness practices teach simple attention and breathing skills to calm the nervous system.
Solution-focused work helps people set clear, achievable goals and track small steps toward them. Tory also uses trauma-informed practices when past hurt affects daily life. That can include pacing conversations, grounding exercises, and building safety and coping skills before tackling deeper material.
She aims to match pace and depth to what the person needs in the moment. She has worked with teens and people navigating family roles, and has experience addressing anxiety, anger, sensory concerns, and sexually reactive behaviors. Tory emphasizes practical tools, steady support, and helping people imagine a more manageable future.
Taking a first step feels hard for many people. Tory offers a calm, nonjudgmental presence and helps clients move from survival toward clearer goals and better day-to-day functioning.
Approaches that translate well to online care
Client-centered work focuses on listening and responding to what each person needs in the moment. It creates space for people to tell their story, name what matters, and guide the pace of sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) offers clear exercises and thought records that are easy to use in video or text formats and can help with anxiety, mood problems, and stress. Mindfulness therapy teaches short attention and breathing practices that people can do between sessions to reduce reactivity and calm the body.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Tory will review your concerns and goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust based on what helps. That means trying concrete skills, noticing what works, and shifting emphasis as needed so the plan fits your life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and working through exercises together. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or a camera isn’t convenient. Live chat and messaging let people check in quickly, share short updates, or do focused skill work between longer sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, school, or family routines.
