About Suzanne
Dr. Suzanne Cormier is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 26 years in helping roles. She focuses on practical support for stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, and relationship concerns.
Her style is warm and interactive, aimed at helping people take manageable steps forward. She blends approaches rather than relying on one model. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) often guides her work, paired with client-centered conversations and solution-focused strategies.
Sessions emphasize building strengths, clearer communication, and realistic steps people can try between meetings.
Background and approach
Dr. Cormier has a background in human development and motivational psychology. That experience informs her interest in resilience, life transitions, and positive self-development.
She has worked in individual counseling, life coaching, university teaching, and student advising, which shaped her practical, down-to-earth approach. Many people come to her when they are new to counseling or facing a big change. She pays attention to each person’s comfort and tailors the plan to their pace.
The goal is steady progress through a respectful partnership, not quick fixes. Sessions are offered by video calls and phone. People can expect a conversational, goal-oriented process that includes home strategies and clear feedback.
Dr. Cormier values small wins, humor, and realistic plans that fit everyday life.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, respect, and pacing sessions around each person’s needs. It helps when someone wants a supportive space to talk through feelings and choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and supports practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it can be helpful for anxiety, stress, and mood struggles.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before. That collaborative process helps decide whether CBT, client-centered work, or a solution-focused emphasis fits best for the issue at hand.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, giving options for different circumstances. Video sessions let people use nonverbal cues and a fuller conversation, while phone calls can work when bandwidth or camera use is an issue. Live chat or text messaging can be useful for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when someone prefers writing to talking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep continuity between sessions.
