About Suzanne
Suzanne Shea is a licensed clinical social worker in Florida who focuses on practical help for people facing addiction, grief, self-esteem struggles, and big life changes. She writes plainly and listens to everyday worries. She aims to make starting therapy feel manageable and worth the effort.
Suzanne brings three years of clinical experience plus a long background running her own business. Before social work, she spent over twenty years in sales and entrepreneurship, including 15 years operating her own company.
Background and approach
That experience shaped her problem-solving approach and her focus on clear, usable strategies. In sessions she helps people sort through family conflict, attachment and abandonment concerns, and issues tied to adoption or blended families. She also supports those navigating caregiver stress, aging questions, and the emotional fallout from divorce and separation.
Drug and alcohol addiction and codependency are among the addictions-related struggles she addresses. Suzanne favors a strengths-based outlook. She treats clients as the experts on their own story and helps them build on what already works.
Meetings are meant to be practical - talk through specific problems, try small changes, and check what helps. People who reach out can expect straightforward conversation and tools that fit real life. Suzanne encourages small steps and recognizes that making a change starts with one decision to get support.

Online support
Approaches that guide online sessions
Suzanne uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional processing. One common approach emphasizes building on a person’s strengths to improve coping and daily routines; it helps with motivation, self-esteem, and managing life transitions. Another approach concentrates on addressing addiction-related behaviors and patterns by identifying triggers and creating concrete plans to reduce harm and build healthier habits.Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Suzanne collaborates with each person to choose approaches that match their goals, values, and what feels comfortable. She will try methods together, check what helps, and adjust plans as needed so therapy fits the person rather than forcing a single method.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls work well for conversations that benefit from face-to-face interaction. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text are useful for shorter check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or when typed reflection feels easier. These formats offer flexibility to fit sessions into busy lives and to keep therapeutic work going across different situations.
