About Suzanne
Suzanne Tyghter is an LCSW practicing in Connecticut with 19 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people cope with depression, anxiety, stress, grief, and family concerns. Her manner is warm and collaborative, with attention to practical steps that ease daily strain.
She often supports people facing big life changes such as divorce or heavy caregiver demands. Suzanne helps clients build self-love and stronger communication skills. She also addresses feelings of guilt, shame, loneliness, and struggles with self-esteem.
Her work combines client-centered Therapy with elements of cognitive behavioral therapy. That means sessions begin by listening closely to what matters most to the individual. From there she and the client identify habits of thinking and behavior that could be adjusted to reduce distress and improve functioning.
Sessions focus on clear, usable strategies alongside reflective conversation. Clients can expect help naming unhelpful patterns, practicing new ways of reacting, and setting realistic steps for change. The emphasis is on steady, manageable progress rather than quick fixes.
Suzanne aims to make therapy a practical part of everyday life. She supports people who want help with communication problems, forgiveness work, and reclaiming energy after loss. To start, prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.
How Suzanne blends client-centered care and CBT online
Client-centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience without judgment. It helps people feel heard and supported while they explore what matters most in their lives. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions influence mood and behavior and offers practical tools to change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Suzanne will collaborate with each person to decide whether a listening-focused path, CBT techniques, or a combination best fits their goals. She tailors the process to the clients needs and preferences rather than prescribing one method up front.
Online therapy can make attending sessions easier to fit into a busy life. Many people find it simpler to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, or other commitments. Before booking, confirm which session formats the therapist currently offers so you know how sessions are delivered. The focus remains on clear, practical steps you can use between appointments to improve communication, manage stress, and address grief or transitions.
