About Suzanne
Suzanne Knapp is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 12 years of experience in social work and psychotherapy. She practices in New Mexico and works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, grief, trauma and abuse, and relationship and parenting issues. Suzanne also lists coaching, compassion fatigue, self-esteem, sleeping problems, career issues, and intimacy-related concerns among her specialties.
Before private practice she worked in foster care, group residences, a domestic violence shelter, schools, an assisted living home, and outpatient mental health clinics. That range of settings informs how she structures sessions and sets goals. Suzanne has combined roles as a social worker, supervisor, psychotherapist, and life coach over her career.
Her style is interactive and practical. She focuses on clear goals and on concrete changes people can try between sessions. Suzanne uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside client-centered methods, mindfulness techniques, motivational interviewing, and narrative or solution-focused strategies where useful.
Sessions include talk, structured exercises, and work on unhelpful thoughts and habits. She helps people name small steps toward clearer priorities, stronger self-esteem, and better routines for sleep and stress. Suzanne emphasizes collaboration and makes plans around a person’s interests and strengths.
People can expect straightforward discussion of problems, goal setting, and hands-on techniques to practice outside sessions. The emphasis is on noticing patterns, testing new responses, and tracking what helps over time.
How CBT and related methods are used in online work
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test different responses, which is useful for anxiety, low mood, and sleep problems. Client-centered work focuses on listening and building goals that reflect a person's values and strengths. Mindfulness approaches add short practices to help reduce reactivity and improve attention for daily tasks.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Suzanne will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That plan can change over time as progress is tracked and new priorities emerge.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists can adapt homework, guided exercises, and goal-setting to work well in virtual appointments so the practical tools used in session translate into daily life.
