About Suzy

Suzy Gold is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 11 years of clinical experience. She practices in Pennsylvania and works in English and Korean.

Background and approach

Her background includes a wide range of settings and many areas of concern. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood challenges, and trauma.

Suzy also supports those facing life transitions such as grief, caregiving strain, or career changes. She gives practical tools for sleeping and eating concerns, addiction and substance issues, and attention differences like ADHD.

Her approach blends several evidence-based methods. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take meaningful action.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and build new coping skills. Attachment-based ideas guide work on connection and relationship patterns, and the Gottman Method is part of her toolkit for addressing intimacy-related concerns.

Sessions are conversational and down-to-earth. Suzy aims to create a calm space to talk through immediate problems and plan realistic next steps.

She offers coaching-style support when people want practical strategies alongside emotional work. She provides online options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.

International clients may be accepted. To begin, a person follows the Start Therapy button and completes a short matching questionnaire to schedule sessions.

Approaches that translate well to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people get clearer about what matters to them and take small steps toward those values despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and life transitions by focusing on action rather than symptom elimination. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments and skill practice. It is useful for managing anxiety, low mood, sleep problems, and behavioral patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early and current relationship patterns shape feelings and interactions, and it can help people improve closeness and emotional regulation.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to current problems, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit each person’s needs. Together the client and therapist will review what helps and adjust the plan as work progresses.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone needs a quieter option. Live chat and text-based messaging are helpful for brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or ongoing written reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep steady momentum toward goals.
