About Suzanne

Suzanne DePasquale is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage relationship strain, grief, stress, anxiety, and trauma. She works with concerns such as parenting, intimacy issues, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and a wide range of family problems. Suzanne practices from Florida and offers sessions in English, including to international clients.

Suzanne uses approachable talk therapy that focuses on the stories people tell about their lives. She listens first, and then helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck.

Background and approach

Sessions aim to clarify what matters to each person and set small, practical steps toward change. Her methods include Narrative Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Client-Centered Therapy, and elements of the Gottman Method. Suzanne blends these approaches to match the needs and goals people bring to sessions.

She explains techniques in plain language and practices with patience. With 18 years as an LCSW - licensed clinical social worker - she has supported clients through divorce, caregiving strain, end-of-life issues, and relationship betrayal. Suzanne has also worked with concerns tied to aging, autism spectrum experiences, cancer, HIV/AIDS, and domestic violence.

She focuses on helping people regain a sense of agency and connection. Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Cost varies by location and uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

Approaches listed

Narrative Therapy in this listing

Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.

If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Suzanne directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.

Online session options

How narrative and evidence-based approaches fit online

She commonly uses Narrative Therapy to help people examine the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships, uncovering alternative ways to understand a problem. Narrative work often helps with identity questions, relationship patterns, and grief. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, is another frequent approach that encourages people to clarify their values and take small committed actions even when feelings are difficult. ACT can be useful for anxiety, stress, and ongoing life challenges.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Suzanne will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Together they identify practical steps, try approaches, and adjust as needed rather than relying on a single technique from the start.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can work when audio is easier or bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, quick problem-solving, or times when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping sessions focused on goals and progress.
