About Suzanne
Suzanne Ornelas is a licensed professional clinical counselor with 20 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with trauma and abuse, grief and loss, parenting challenges, anger, depression, anxiety, and stress. She also supports people facing relationship and intimacy concerns, self-esteem struggles, major life changes, compassion fatigue, and ADHD-related issues.
Suzanne works from a practical, respectful stance. She listens first, then tailors conversations and plans to each person’s situation.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on real-life steps and coping tools rather than long lectures. She aims to create a calm space where people can talk through difficult feelings. Her background includes two decades of clinical work in New Mexico.
That experience includes helping people with first responder stress, hoarding concerns, and hospice or end-of-life issues. She draws on what has helped others with similar problems while keeping each plan personal. Suzanne uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to fit a person’s goals.
She encourages small, achievable changes and practices people can try between sessions. She also offers coaching-style support for practical problem solving. Many clients seek her out for anger management and for ways to handle intense reactions without shame.
She invites people to take the first step, complete a brief matching questionnaire, and schedule a time that works for them.

Everything Suzanne lists, in the therapist's own terms. Anger is the reason this directory exists; the rest tells you what usually sits alongside it in Suzanne's practice.
Approaches that guide online care
Evidence-based techniques are used in plain, practical ways. One common approach focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. This approach can help with anxiety, depression, and anger by teaching new coping behaviors and problem-solving steps.Another approach centers on building emotional awareness and regulation skills. It teaches ways to notice intense feelings, slow down reactions, and choose responses that match long-term goals. That kind of work is often helpful for people wanting better anger management and healthier relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit your needs, and adjust the plan as progress is made. This is a collaborative process that blends therapeutic techniques with practical coaching when needed.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to match different routines. Video allows face-to-face conversation, phone calls can be easier on low bandwidth, chat or text can fit short check-ins or busy schedules, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent with daily life.
