Suzanne DePasquale

Suzanne DePasquale is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people through grief, relationship strain, and the stress of caregiving and life transitions. She practices in Florida and draws on nearly two decades of clinical experience to support people facing loss, illness, and changing family roles.

Clients come when they are tired, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward after a breakup, a death, or a major health crisis. Suzanne uses clear, down-to-earth language in sessions and focuses on practical steps people can try between meetings. She encourages small changes that ease daily pressure and improve communication with others.

Her background includes long experience with end-of-life concerns and hospice and end-of-life counseling. That work informs how she addresses aging, serious illness, caregiver stress, and saying goodbye. Suzanne also helps people navigate complex relationship issues such as infidelity, narcissistic behavior, blended family challenges, and divorce.

Therapeutic methods she uses include acceptance and commitment ideas, cognitive behavioral approaches, mindfulness practices, client-centered listening, and elements of the Gottman Method for relationship work. These methods are woven into a practical plan tailored to each person's goals. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused, with time spent on coping tools and clearer communication.

People who want straightforward support for grief, stress, or relationship problems will find a calm, experienced clinician who emphasizes respect, pacing, and realistic steps forward.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports people in noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that matter to them. It can be helpful for grief, chronic stress, and situations where values guide choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and trying concrete behavioral changes to reduce anxiety and improve mood. It often helps with stress, anxiety, and problem solving. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening without judgment and helping people find their own direction; it is useful when someone needs a steady, empathetic space to process emotions.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try different methods as needed. Together the client and therapist decide which techniques fit the situation and adjust the plan over time based on what helps most.

The biography did not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins during short breaks or between other obligations. It also lets people maintain consistency when caregiving or health issues make leaving home difficult. Licensed professionals adapt tools like mindfulness exercises, values work, and communication practice to work well in remote sessions.
