About Suzanne
Suzanne Tyghter is a Connecticut-based LCSW who draws on 19 years of clinical experience to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and family difficulties.
Background and approach
She uses a collaborative, client-centered stance to create a respectful space where clients can explore emotions, build self-understanding, and develop practical strategies for everyday challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of her toolkit and is used to identify thinking patterns and develop skills for coping and symptom reduction.
Her practice often focuses on life transitions such as divorce and caregiver stress, and on relational concerns like communication problems, isolation, and issues of guilt, shame, or forgiveness. Suzanne places emphasis on cultivating self-love and strengthening interpersonal skills so clients can move toward more satisfying relationships and greater emotional balance.
She blends empathic listening with evidence-informed techniques to tailor work to each person’s priorities and rhythms.
Approaches That Guide Online Sessions and Practical Benefits
Client-centered therapy centers the client's experience and priorities, offering empathetic listening and collaborative goal-setting to support self-discovery and emotional expression. This approach is helpful for people seeking validation, improved self-understanding, and stronger coping resources.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and learning practical skills to change reactions and behaviors. It is often used to address anxiety, depression, stress, and difficult patterns in relationships by teaching concrete strategies that can be practiced between sessions.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Suzanne will work together with each person to determine which methods fit their needs and goals, adapting techniques over time based on what proves most useful. This partnership helps ensure therapy stays relevant and responsive to changing circumstances.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to maintain continuity during life transitions. These formats support ongoing access to licensed professionals and allow work on skills, communication, and emotional processing from wherever clients are located in Connecticut.
