Suzanne Walker is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and a Licensed Clinical Addictions Specialist practicing in North Carolina. She brings 18 years of clinical experience across multiple service settings, combining practical knowledge with a collaborative, client-centered approach.
Her therapeutic work draws on techniques such as cognitive behavioral therapy, reality therapy, person-centered therapy, motivational interviewing, mindfulness practices, and solution-focused therapy. Over her career she has worked with individuals facing mental health diagnoses as well as people with substance use disorders, offering individual, group, and family counseling.
Suzanne has provided substance use treatment for clients using Medication Assisted Therapy (MAT) while working as a Substance Abuse Counselor, and she has served as an outpatient therapist delivering community-based mental health and substance abuse counseling to children, adults, and families. She also has extensive experience leading community support services for adults with severe and persistent mental illness, and has worked with clients who were court ordered into treatment or required in-patient care. Her background includes roles as both counselor and program manager at a treatment center that offered individual and group counseling for patients receiving MAT.
Her primary specialties include substance use disorders, stress and anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. Suzanne also works with people experiencing mood disorders, panic disorders and panic attacks, posttraumatic stress, workplace issues, body image concerns, chronic pain and disability, infidelity, self-harm, aging and geriatric issues, communication difficulties, LGBTQ+ matters, and life purpose or transition challenges.
She is licensed in North Carolina as a clinical mental health counselor, a credential that indicates advanced training and state licensure (NC LCMHC 8367). Suzanne is comfortable meeting with clients by video, by phone, or via live chat, and she maintains weekday and evening availability as well as Saturday morning appointments.
Suzanne looks forward to working with new clients and supporting them through meaningful change.
For many common concerns - such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or major life transitions - online therapy can be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions. Research and clinical practice indicate that for these types of issues remote therapy often produces comparable outcomes.
One of the clearest benefits is flexibility. Clients can connect with a therapist in the format that fits their life best: video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This range of options makes it easier to maintain consistent care without rearranging a full day around appointments.
All therapists who provide online services are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to switch to a different therapist if they feel a different fit would be helpful. For many people, the combination of professional training and flexible access makes online therapy a practical and effective way to address everyday mental health concerns.
