Suzanne Shea, LCSW

Suzanne Shea is a Florida licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with three years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people facing addictions, family conflict, grief and low self-esteem. Suzanne also supports people adjusting to major life changes and offers a steady, practical presence during difficult times.

Before becoming a clinician, she spent more than 20 years in sales and ran her own business for 15 years. That background shaped her problem-solving style and her emphasis on practical steps. In 2020 she returned to school to complete a Master of Social Work so she could pursue her goal of helping others with mental health and relationship challenges.

Suzanne helps people talk through issues like abandonment, adoption and foster care concerns, attachment struggles, blended family dynamics, and caregiver stress. She also works with people dealing with codependency, commitment worries, communication problems, and the effects of divorce or separation.

Her approach is collaborative and strength-based. She views each person as the expert in their own life and looks for existing strengths to build on. Sessions typically focus on clear goals and manageable next steps to create change that fits daily life.

People who choose Suzanne can expect straightforward guidance, practical tools, and encouragement while they work through grief, addiction, or transitions. She speaks English and practices in Florida as an LCSW.

How therapeutic approaches guide online care

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on practical, proven ways to handle problems. One useful approach emphasizes goal-oriented work and practical tools to manage cravings, triggers, and daily routines that affect addictions. This approach breaks larger problems into small steps and helps people practice new behaviors between sessions.

Another common focus is grief and coping with life changes. This method helps people make sense of loss, rebuild routines, and find ways to remember what matters while moving forward. It often includes straightforward exercises to process emotions and restore day-to-day functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Suzanne will work with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process means trying ideas, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan as progress is made.

If you want online visits, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help when quieter surroundings or lower bandwidth are important, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Licensed professionals adapt methods so the work still focuses on clear goals and usable tools.
