Suzanne Marin , LCSW

Suzanne Marin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in North Carolina with eight years of professional experience. She frames therapy as a collaborative process that supports healing of the body, mind, and spirit, and she emphasizes partnership and mutual effort when working toward greater wellbeing.

Suzanne works with people facing stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, depression, and the challenges that accompany life transitions. She also supports clients dealing with relationship and family issues, grief, anger, self-esteem struggles, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and a wide range of related concerns such as aging and geriatric issues, commitment and control problems, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, impulsivity, infidelity, isolation and loneliness, life purpose questions, post-traumatic stress, self-harm, self-love, and somatization.

Drawing on a mix of evidence-informed approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and client-centered practices, she tailors sessions to each person’s needs. As an LCSW - a licensed clinical social worker trained to provide mental health care - she aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored. Suzanne helps people identify goals, build coping skills, and move toward a more fulfilling and resilient life while offering steady support and encouragement throughout the change process.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify their values and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and navigating life changes by teaching acceptance and committed movement toward what matters most.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Through practical strategies and skill building it is often applied to anxiety, depression, and mood regulation challenges to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.

Client-centered therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist reflects and supports each person’s self-directed growth. This approach can help with building self-esteem, improving relationships, and working through identity or life-purpose questions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Suzanne will collaborate with each person to explore which methods fit best with their needs, goals, and preferences, and she will adjust strategies over time to support progress.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy schedules, allows access from different locations, and makes it easier to maintain continuity of care. Licensed professionals can use these options to provide consistent support and practical skills that fit into everyday life.
