Suzanne Marin, LCSW

Suzanne Marin approaches therapy with a belief that connection and collaboration help move people from illness toward wellness. She frames healing as a process that engages body, mind, and spirit, and she encourages clients to see therapy as a constructive step rather than something to fear.

Suzanne is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in North Carolina with eight years of professional experience. She draws on that experience to support people navigating stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and LGBTQIA+ related issues, among other challenges. Her practice also includes work with grief, bipolar disorder, ADHD, self-esteem struggles, and life transitions.

In sessions Suzanne focuses on creating an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored honestly. She emphasizes collaboration - partnering with each person to identify goals and develop practical strategies for coping and growth. Seeking change takes courage, and Suzanne offers steady support and empowerment as clients take steps toward a more fulfilling and balanced life in North Carolina and through her online offerings.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and learn practical ways to act in alignment with those values. It combines acceptance of difficult thoughts and feelings with committed action toward meaningful goals and can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. By teaching concrete skills for problem solving and emotion regulation, CBT often helps with anxiety, stress, and mood challenges.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and partnership, giving people a space to explore their experience while the therapist reflects and supports their self-directed growth. This approach is helpful for building self-esteem, processing relationship issues, and navigating major life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Suzanne collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she may blend techniques from different approaches to create a tailored plan.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule consistent care around work, family, and everyday responsibilities, and they allow licensed professionals and therapists to provide ongoing support across different settings.
