Dr. Suzanne Cormier, LPC

Dr. Suzanne Cormier is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with 26 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem, grief, parenting strains, and life transitions. She also supports people facing adoption and foster care issues, aging concerns, communication and family problems, and midlife or young adult challenges.

Her style is interactive and supportive. She often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, but blends methods to fit each person's needs. Sessions aim to build on strengths and practical skills rather than only talking about problems.

Dr. Cormier has worked in individual counseling, life coaching, university teaching, and student advising. That background informs her interest in resilience, positive self-development, and navigating life changes. Many recent clients have sought help for anxiety and stress tied to personal and social pressures.

She welcomes people who are new to counseling and prefers a collaborative approach. Together with each client she sets goals and works step by step toward manageable changes. She also emphasizes keeping space for small joys like laughter as part of wellbeing.

Sessions are offered by video or phone. Texting is not used as a primary therapy platform. Scheduling is on weekdays at varying times, and appointment timing is set collaboratively for the first session.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. The therapist offers empathy and reflects concerns back so people feel understood and can set their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and low mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on emotions and how they shape interactions and personal bonds; it helps people notice and shift patterns that contribute to relationship strain.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Treatment can mix methods over time so the plan fits changing needs and real-life pressures.

Sessions are offered by video or phone, so therapy can be scheduled without traveling to an office. This can make it easier to fit appointments around work, family, or school.
