About Suzanne
Suzanne Tyghter is a Connecticut licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 19 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and family concerns. She describes her work as practical and focused on building skills people can use between sessions. Suzanne works with issues like self-esteem, caregiver stress, communication problems, and the emotional effects of divorce and separation.
She uses straightforward techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. Sessions often include talking through upsetting moments, practicing new ways to communicate, and setting small, achievable goals. Suzanne also addresses guilt, shame, forgiveness, loneliness, and learning to practice more self-love in daily life.
Her style draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Client-Centered Therapy shapes how she listens and responds, while CBT guides the practical steps she and a client take to change thinking and behavior patterns. Together these approaches are used to create clear, step-by-step plans for coping with difficult feelings and situations.
She has worked with a wide range of adult concerns over nearly two decades in Connecticut. Sessions are aimed at producing specific strategies people can use at home, at work, and in relationships. Before booking, readers should confirm current session formats and scheduling details to make sure they fit their needs.
Suzanne keeps explanations plain and sessions focused on skills. People who want concrete tools for stress, grief, or relationship strain often choose this approach because it emphasizes what to try next and how to practice it between visits.
How her approaches translate to online work
Suzanne draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in clear, practical ways. CBT focuses on spotting thinking patterns that make problems worse and trying concrete behavior changes. It helps with anxiety, depression, stress, and day-to-day coping skills.Client-Centered work prioritizes listening and reflecting so the person feels heard and can make their own choices. That approach supports work on self-esteem, forgiveness, guilt, and improving communication by keeping the client's perspective central.
Finding what works is collaborative. Suzanne will discuss goals and preferences and help decide which techniques to try first. She checks results and adjusts plans together with each person, using short tasks and exercises to practice between sessions.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking.
