About Suzanne
Her style is interactive and supportive. Sessions focus on building on strengths and practical steps that fit each person's life. She typically uses ideas from cognitive behavioral approaches but tailors methods to the client's needs and comfort.
Dr. Cormier's background includes individual counseling, life coaching, and university teaching and advising. That mix shaped her interest in positive self-development, resilience, and adjusting to transitions. She has worked extensively with people facing anxiety and social stressors.
In sessions she emphasizes partnership. Clients and therapist set goals together and try techniques that help people move forward. Humor and everyday pleasures are often part of the work because small changes can add up over time.
Appointments are offered on weekdays at different times to match schedules. Sessions are conducted by video or phone rather than text. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling details.
How her methods translate to online therapy
Dr. Cormier commonly draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building a respectful partnership so clients feel understood and heard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors together and teaches practical techniques to reduce anxiety and manage stress. Solution-Focused Therapy targets small, achievable steps and helps people find what already works in their lives.Choosing an approach is collaborative. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most comfortable. Together they decide which ideas to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Her sessions are offered by video or phone, so readers should confirm the available session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and avoid travel time. People can try different rhythms and session lengths to see what fits their routine, and the therapist will tailor practical strategies to everyday life.
