Dr. Suzanne Cormier, LPC

Dr. Suzanne Cormier is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with 26 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She offers a calm, interactive style aimed at practical change and clearer thinking.

Dr. Cormier often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, but she adapts methods to each person’s needs. Sessions focus on building strengths, improving coping skills, and solving current problems. She aims to help clients notice patterns, shift unhelpful thinking, and try new behaviors.

Her background includes individual counseling, life coaching, and university student advising. That work gave her experience with development, resilience, and adjusting to life changes. She has spent much of her recent practice supporting people with anxiety and stress tied to personal or social concerns.

Newer clients are welcome; she often works with people trying counseling for the first time. Her approach is collaborative: she listens, reflects, and helps set small, practical goals. Humor and simple routines are often part of the work to help lift mood and keep progress steady.

Sessions are offered on weekdays and scheduled to fit client needs. Appointments are held by video calls or phone sessions. She does not accept international clients.

How her approaches fit online therapy

Dr. Cormier commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes to reduce worry or low mood. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, reflecting the client’s experience, and building a respectful, collaborative relationship.

She takes a collaborative approach to choosing methods. In the first sessions she will review concerns and goals, then suggest a mix of techniques. Clients and the therapist decide together what feels most useful and adjust as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls are helpful for face-to-face interaction and visual cues. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a hands-free option is needed. Live chat or text messaging can be useful for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when written reflection helps. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and try strategies between sessions.
