About Suzanne

Suzanne Kramer is a licensed mental health counselor in Massachusetts who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and struggles with self-esteem. She draws on 16 years of clinical experience to support clients as they navigate difficult emotions and practical life challenges.

Background and approach

Suzanne approaches each person with respect for their own expertise about their life and highlights existing strengths to build momentum for change. Her style blends collaborative, client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques to address patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress.

This combination allows her to listen deeply while offering concrete strategies to manage symptoms and improve daily functioning.

Suzanne also works with a range of related issues, including communication problems, eating and food-related concerns, hoarding, isolation and loneliness, jealousy, life-purpose questions, midlife transitions, financial stress, obsessions and compulsions, phobias, process addictions, seasonal affective disorder, sex-related difficulties, sexuality questions, and social anxiety.

Clients who seek a supportive, strengths-focused approach will find a practical partner in Suzanne as they explore goals and develop skills for more satisfying relationships and a clearer sense of direction.

Applying CBT and Client-Centered Care to Online Therapy

Clients can expect work grounded in cognitive behavioral techniques and client-centered principles adapted for remote sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is often used to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, phobias, OCD-related patterns, and problematic habits by teaching practical coping strategies. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening, validation, and collaboration so clients can explore goals and build on their own resources during the therapeutic process.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Suzanne will work with each person to determine whether CBT strategies, client-centered support, or a combination of both best fit their goals, needs, and preferences. Together they will set priorities and adjust methods over time to match progress and changing concerns.

Online formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it possible to access therapy with flexibility. These options help accommodate different schedules, comfort levels with technology, and communication styles, allowing licensed professionals to provide consistent support and skills practice without the need for in-person visits.
