About Suzy
Suzy Gold is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 11 years of clinical experience. She offers straightforward care for people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, mood concerns, and life transitions. Suzy speaks English and Korean and sees clients from Pennsylvania as well as international clients through online work.
Suzy takes a narrative-informed approach. She helps people tell their stories differently so problems feel less central to who they are. Sessions focus on everyday steps that reduce overwhelm, improve sleep and eating patterns, and ease intense emotions.
Background and approach
Her style is warm and practical. She listens first, then works with each person to choose tools that fit their life. That can look like learning new coping skills, trying behavioral changes, or shifting painful self-talk.
Suzy draws on techniques from acceptance and commitment work, cognitive behavioral tools, attachment-focused ideas, and client-centered practice. These methods guide short-term problem solving and deeper work on patterns that repeat across relationships and roles. Parents often come for help with parenting strain, grief, or behavior concerns.
Other people seek support for addiction, bipolar or depression management, or career and boundary struggles. Suzy explains options in clear language and partners with people to set realistic goals they can reach between sessions.

Online session options
How narrative and practical approaches work online
Suzy blends Narrative Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Attachment-Based ideas to help people change the way they describe problems and live around them. Narrative work looks at the stories people repeat and helps separate the person from the problem so daily life can feel less dominated by symptoms. ACT emphasizes values and small, committed steps that move someone toward a life they care about, even when emotions are difficult. Attachment-based ideas focus on how earlier relationships shape current patterns and help people build steadier emotional connections in daily life.Finding the right fit is a team effort. Suzy will listen to goals and try strategies together, then adjust methods as needed. That collaborative planning helps pick which approach or mix of approaches will match a person's situation and preferences.
Online sessions can make therapy easier to fit into busy lives. Video calls allow eye contact and shared materials, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can work when movement or noise is an issue, and live chat or text-based messaging are useful for quick check-ins or when writing feels more comfortable. These options give flexibility for work breaks, caretaking schedules, or long-distance access to licensed professionals.
