About Suzanne

Suzanne Caldwell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with eight years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. Suzanne also supports those dealing with addictions, identity and LGBT matters, parenting strain, and attention-related challenges.

Her approach emphasizes clear, practical conversation and attention to emotions. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), client-centered methods, and mindfulness. Sessions focus on naming feelings, tracking patterns, and trying small changes that matter day to day.

Suzanne pays attention to relationship and attachment issues such as abandonment, avoidant personality patterns, and commitment concerns. She also addresses blended family and communication problems, body image and eating concerns, chronic pain and illness, caregiver stress, and co-occurring conditions. These areas often come up with grief, divorce, or big life transitions.

In the room she aims to listen, reflect what is happening, and help people experiment with new ways of interacting. Work may include learning strategies from CBT, practicing mindfulness skills, or using ACT ideas about values and committed action. The focus stays on practical steps that fit daily life.

How Suzanne blends EFT, ACT, and CBT for online work

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people name and track the feelings that drive relationship and attachment patterns. EFT sessions usually focus on emotion recognition and shifts in how people respond to one another. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches skills for noticing thoughts and taking values-based action even when feelings are uncomfortable. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioral changes that can ease symptoms like anxiety or low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Suzanne will discuss options with each person and decide together which methods fit goals and preferences. That collaborative step helps shape whether more EFT, ACT, or CBT techniques are used in sessions.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when needed. They also let people practice skills where they live and use techniques in everyday settings. Discuss format preferences during the matching process to find a practical way to work together.
