Suzanna Bagley

Suzanna Bagley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) who brings 12 years of clinical experience to her work. She greets people with an easygoing manner and often uses a bit of humor and positivity to help lower tension. She aims to meet clients where they are and to help them move toward clearer goals.

Suzanna describes herself as direct when needed, and never critical or judgmental. She focuses on listening and validating what people bring to sessions. Many clients find her approachable and steady when talking through stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, grief, or mood shifts.

Her academic background includes a bachelor’s and master’s degree in clinical psychology. She uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs, drawing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused methods. These approaches are chosen to address things like difficult thoughts, past trauma, and short-term problem solving.

Suzanna works with a wide range of concerns, including depression, self-esteem, intimacy-related issues, parenting, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and narcissism-related questions. She also supports people facing life transitions, career stress, and midlife concerns.

If someone wants to know more about how she works, she offers explanations either by message or during a session. The focus is practical: identify what’s getting in the way, try small changes, and build skills that make daily life easier.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Solution-Focused Therapy looks at small, practical steps that move a person toward their goals. It is useful when someone wants brief, goal-directed sessions to solve a particular problem or get unstuck.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with new behaviors. It often helps with anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and mood concerns by teaching concrete skills to shift thinking and daily routines.

Trauma-Focused Therapy involves mapping triggers and building strategies to manage strong emotions and memories. It can support people who have experienced long-term or repeated trauma by creating a paced plan for coping and recovery.

Finding the best approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about symptoms, history, and goals to choose which method or blend of methods fits best. This collaborative process can change over time as needs shift.

Online therapy can make sessions easier to fit into busy days and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when people need quick support or phone options when bandwidth is limited. Confirm the specific session formats offered before booking so arrangements match personal needs and schedules.
