About Suzanne
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with 26 years of experience, Dr. Suzanne Cormier helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem, grief, parenting challenges, and life transitions. She also supports people with issues related to adoption and foster care, aging, communication problems, and women's and young adult concerns. Sessions are offered in English and are held by video or phone; texting is not used as a primary platform.
Dr. Cormier describes her style as interactive and supportive. She primarily works from a Cognitive Behavioral orientation while drawing on Client-Centered, Emotionally-Focused, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused techniques. She looks at each person’s needs and comfort and adjusts the approach rather than following a single method.
Her background includes individual counseling, life coaching, university teaching, and student advising. That history has shaped her focus on development, resilience, and adjusting to life changes. She has worked extensively with people new to counseling and with those coping with anxiety and stress tied to personal and social concerns.
In sessions she aims for a respectful partnership where clients and counselor plan steps toward positive change. Work often centers on identifying strengths, building practical coping skills, and finding solutions to immediate problems.
Outside of work she spends time with family, volunteers at an art museum, reads mysteries, watches lighthearted videos, and enjoys travel. Her tone is straightforward and pragmatic; she combines clinical experience with approachable conversation to help people move forward.

Therapeutic approaches used for remote sessions
Dr. Cormier commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in her remote work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve coping. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes understanding a person's perspective and building a collaborative working relationship to support growth.She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy when relationship patterns and emotions are central. EFT helps people recognize and name emotions and reshape how they respond to one another or to stressful situations.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they pick methods and adjust them as sessions progress to find a good fit.
Her practice lists video and phone sessions as the delivery methods. Please confirm the current session options before booking. Remote sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into busy days, allow a shorter check-in when needed, and remove travel time. Different formats also let people pick what works for them practically, such as a phone call for a brief catch-up or a video appointment for deeper work.
