About Suzy
Suzy Gold is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 11 years of clinical experience. She draws on a variety of practical methods to help people manage strong emotions, life changes, and ongoing stress. Suzy speaks English and Korean and provides services to people in Pennsylvania and to international clients.
She focuses on anger, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and addiction concerns. She also helps with attention challenges, sleep and eating problems, grief, parenting strain, and career stress.
Background and approach
Sessions can address relationship and family strains through individual work focused on communication and coping skills. Suzy uses straightforward, skills-based approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques and dialectical behavior strategies to help people reduce intense reactions and build new patterns. She also draws on acceptance and commitment practices to help people refocus on what matters and take workable steps toward their goals.
Her style is calm and centered. She listens and then offers clear tools that clients can try between sessions. She prefers short, practical exercises alongside deeper conversations about patterns and history.
Suzy values collaboration. She works with each person to set goals and to measure small changes over time. Clients who want a mix of practical skill-building and space to talk about painful experiences often find this approach helpful.

How her approaches translate to online care
Suzy often uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavior changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep or eating problems, and stressful thinking that feeds anger.She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. Those DBT tools can help when feelings escalate quickly or when someone needs steady ways to cope between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Suzy collaborates with each person to choose techniques that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts methods over time based on what helps in real life, and she reviews progress together so plans change when needed.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions are good for face-to-face conversation and practicing new communication skills. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging allow short check-ins, quick coaching, or ongoing reminders between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving schedules while using the approaches described above.
