Suzanne S Harrell , LCSW

Suzanne S Harrell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida who blends traditional psychotherapy with embodied practices to address stress, anxiety, addictions, and related concerns. With a background that includes longstanding work in social work and more than two decades of teaching yoga, breathwork, and mindfulness, she integrates mind-body techniques alongside clinical interventions to help clients build greater awareness and reduce physiological reactivity associated with stress.

Her approach emphasizes the client as the expert of their own story - she supports people in recognizing and using their existing strengths to navigate life transitions, bolster self-esteem, and recover from compassion fatigue. By pairing therapeutic conversation with breath and movement-based practices, she helps clients cultivate practical tools for coping with caregiver stress, exploring life purpose, and developing self-love.

Suzanne works with issues commonly faced by women and those struggling with addictive behaviors, and she brings a calm, attentive presence to the therapeutic relationship. She aims to create a respectful, strengths-based process that encourages courage and gradual change while honoring each person’s pace and values.

Online Mindfulness and Somatic Support

Mindfulness Therapy in Suzanne S Harrell's practice focuses on moment-to-moment awareness through breath and gentle attention. This approach helps people notice habitual stress responses and learn simple skills to reduce reactivity and settle into present-moment experience, which can be useful for anxiety, stress, and cultivating self-compassion.

Somatic Therapy emphasizes the connection between body sensations and emotional experience. By attending to posture, breath, and bodily signals, this approach supports people in releasing tension, regulating arousal, and developing grounded coping strategies for issues such as addictions, caregiver fatigue, and life changes.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative process. Suzanne works with each person to explore which methods feel most helpful, adapting techniques to match goals, preferences, and comfort level so the work feels practical and personally relevant.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life and to maintain continuity of care. These formats offer flexibility for scheduling, allow therapists to meet clients where they are, and make regular practice and check-ins more accessible for people managing caregiving roles, work demands, or mobility limitations.
