Suzanne Marin , LCSW

"When 'I' is replaced by 'We' even 'Illness' Becomes 'Wellness'" - Malcolm X. Suzanne Marin brings a collaborative philosophy to mental health care, viewing healing as a process that engages body, mind, and spirit to support overall wellness. She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in North Carolina with eight years of professional experience. Suzanne draws on a range of clinical approaches to help people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and a variety of life transitions.

Her work also encompasses grief, family and communication challenges, issues related to LGBT identity, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and struggles with self-worth, impulsivity, and isolation. Suzanne creates an open, nonjudgmental space where emotions and thoughts can be explored honestly, and she partners with each person to set realistic goals and build practical skills. She approaches therapy as an empowering journey that requires courage and commitment, and she aims to support and guide clients as they move toward a more fulfilling, resilient life.

Suzanne blends evidence-based techniques with client-centered care, helping people discover strengths, develop coping strategies, and reconnect with purpose and meaningful relationships.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Suzanne Marin integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and client-centered techniques to address a range of concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take committed action even when difficult thoughts or emotions arise - it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and mood instability. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes empathy and collaboration, giving people space to explore feelings at their own pace while the therapist reflects and supports growth.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Suzanne Marin works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts strategies over time to support progress. This collaborative stance helps tailor care to the individual's situation.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to access licensed professionals from home, work, or on the go. These options allow for consistent continuity of care while accommodating different schedules and comfort levels.
