About Suzanne
Suzanne Levy is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with nine years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family issues, low self-esteem, and life changes. She also addresses concerns such as communication problems, control issues, feelings of guilt and shame, isolation, and questions about sexuality and life purpose.
Suzanne uses practical, evidence-based strategies while keeping sessions straightforward and human. She focuses on helping people notice patterns that keep them stuck and try small, manageable changes. Conversations are direct but gentle, with room for humor when it fits.
In session she helps clients untangle overthinking and self-doubt. She talks through relationship dynamics and how to set clearer boundaries. She also supports people working to rebuild self-respect after painful events or choices.
Suzanne incorporates cognitive tools that help people reframe unhelpful thoughts and behavioral steps that encourage different outcomes. She tailors the pace to each person, balancing skills practice with time to reflect on feelings and values. Her background combines clinical work and plainspoken guidance rather than technical jargon.
Outside of clinical work she enjoys animals, art, and nature, and values small moments of rest and curiosity. To begin, visitors follow the site process: complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online options button.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Evidence-based cognitive techniques focus on identifying and changing patterns of thought that fuel anxiety and self-criticism. These approaches teach practical ways to notice automatic thoughts, test them, and try different, less distressing interpretations. They are often used for anxiety, self-doubt, and shame-related thinking.Behavioral strategies emphasize small, doable steps to change habits and test new ways of relating. This might include experiments in communication, boundary-setting practice, or gradual exposure to social situations. These steps help translate insights into everyday behavior.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Suzanne will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals and comfort level. That choice is revisited as progress is made, with adjustments based on what helps most.

They also let people participate when leaving home is difficult, while still focusing on practical skills and real-life practice rather than lengthy theory.
