About Suzanna
Suzanna Bagley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Illinois with 12 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and trauma concerns, and also helps with depression, self-esteem, parenting issues, and career questions.
Bagley keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when unhelpful thoughts affect mood or anxiety. She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy for people who want shorter-term, goal-directed work and Trauma-Focused approaches for those coping with long-term trauma.
She describes herself as easygoing and will use direct feedback when it helps move things forward. Humor and a positive tone may appear when appropriate. Conversations aim to identify what is getting in the way and to try specific ways of responding differently.
Suzanna has a bachelor’s and master’s degree in clinical psychology. Her mix of approaches means she can focus on changing thought patterns, building small practical steps toward goals, or working through trauma responses depending on what a person needs.
People who contact her first complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial session. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and costs vary with location. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are not accepted.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Many of her methods adapt well to remote work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts with concrete exercises and short practice tasks between sessions. Solution-Focused Therapy narrows attention to small, specific changes and practical steps aimed at a clear goal. Trauma-Focused Therapy looks at triggers and emotional responses and develops strategies to manage those reactions over time.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals, needs, and preferences together and then choose or combine methods that fit. That plan can be adjusted as progress is reviewed in later sessions.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists can assign between-session tasks, review homework, and use structured worksheets to keep progress concrete and measurable.
