Dr. Suzanne Cormier , LPC

Dr. Suzanne Cormier helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, life changes, or low self-esteem. She works with adults facing grief, parenting challenges, relationship strain, or questions about identity, and she has a particular interest in women's issues. Suzanne is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with more than 26 years of experience in counseling and coaching.

Her style is interactive and warm. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use between meetings. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to look at thoughts and behaviors, while keeping the work centered on each person’s goals and comfort level.

Over the years she has worked in individual counseling, university student counseling and teaching, and life coaching. That variety has shaped a straightforward approach that values strengths, resilience, and small changes that add up over time. She often helps people adjust to midlife shifts, adoption and foster care concerns, or later-life transitions.

Suzanne also uses motivation-focused techniques and solution-focused work to help clients set clear, achievable goals. She aims to build a respectful partnership so clients can find realistic ways forward. Many people come for help with anxiety, stress, depression, or relationship communication.

Sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, and scheduling is arranged to fit weekday hours. Suzanne encourages people who are new to counseling to try a session and see how the process feels.

Approaches and online therapy options

Dr. Cormier works from client-centered and cognitive behavioral approaches that translate well to online care. Client-centered Therapy focuses on listening, understanding each person's priorities, and building a strong therapeutic relationship to guide change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers practical exercises to reduce anxiety and improve mood.

She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas when relationships and emotional connection are central concerns. That approach helps people recognize patterns in how they react and learn new ways to express needs and stay connected. Choosing the best approach is part of the work; she collaborates with each person to match methods to goals, comfort level, and the pace that feels right.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video is useful for deeper conversational work, phone sessions can be an easier fit when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera, and chat or messaging are helpful for quick check-ins or when a brief touchpoint is needed. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping sessions focused on problem-solving and progress.
