About Suzy
Suzy Gold is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania. She brings 11 years of clinical experience and a calm, practical approach to helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and relationship concerns. Suzy speaks English and Korean and works with adults on a wide range of life challenges.
Her background includes work in community mental health, inpatient settings, schools, and juvenile services. This has given her experience supporting people with depression, bipolar mood concerns, trauma and abuse, addiction, ADHD, and parenting stresses. She also addresses issues like body image, chronic illness, caregiver strain, and feelings of abandonment.
In sessions she uses straightforward, skills-based methods. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people name their values and take small steps toward them.
Suzy incorporates attachment-focused conversations to look at patterns in relationships and how early experiences influence current reactions. Dialectical behavior strategies are used when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with practical tools to try between meetings.

Approach-focused online therapy options
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that match those values even when unpleasant thoughts or feelings show up. It often helps with anxiety, stress, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing alternative thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. It is practical and skill driven. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people understand and change repeated ways of reacting in close relationships.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them over time based on what feels most helpful.
Confirm which online session formats Suzy offers before booking, as formats are not listed in the profile. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins during a lunch break or between commitments. Some formats tend to work better for shorter check-ins or when someone prefers not to use video, while others suit longer, in-depth conversation. Discuss scheduling options and practical fit during the initial match so sessions can be arranged to fit daily routines.
