About Suzanne

Suzanne Chait is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, parenting challenges, and intimacy concerns. She is based in New York and works with individuals who want clearer thinking, steadier emotions, and more satisfying connections. Her profile also notes a focus on infidelity, jealousy, obsessions, compulsions, and OCD related concerns.

Suzanne aims to build an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can say what they really think and feel. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use between meetings, and on developing skills to manage overwhelming thoughts and feelings. She encourages small, doable changes rather than sudden overhauls.

Her approach is collaborative: Suzanne listens, helps name what is getting in the way, and then creates a plan that fits each person’s life. She supports clients as they try new ways of responding to relationship conflicts, intrusive thoughts, or recurring worries. Progress is tracked in clear, concrete ways so people can see what’s shifting.

Suzanne brings two and a half decades of clinical experience to sessions, including work with loss and health-related life changes. She values steady, respectful support and practical tools that help people cope now while building toward longer-term goals.

To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability. The subscription used for sessions can be canceled at any time.

How evidence-based methods translate to online work

Therapeutic approaches often used for the concerns listed in this profile include behavioral techniques that teach practical coping skills and cognitive work that helps people notice and reframe unhelpful thoughts. Behavioral techniques focus on actions people can take each day to reduce anxiety and manage compulsive behaviors. Cognitive methods help identify thought patterns that feed jealousy, worry, or low mood and replace them with clearer, more balanced thinking.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to figure out which techniques fit their goals and day-to-day life. Goals are set together and adjusted as progress is made, so treatment feels targeted and manageable rather than one-size-fits-all.

Confirm current session options before booking since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can still guide skill practice, track changes, and help clients apply new strategies to real-life moments through remote sessions, provided the chosen format matches the client’s needs and preferences.
