Suzanne Towne, LCSW, LICSW

Suzanne Towne is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 15 years of experience and holds LCSW and LICSW credentials. She practices in Tennessee and focuses on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, parenting, anger, self-esteem, ADHD, addictions, relationships, trauma and grief. Suzanne works directly to help people reduce irritability, manage reactions, and improve day-to-day functioning.

Suzanne combines years of hands-on mental health work with practical approaches that fit everyday life. She previously worked as a psychiatric registered nurse and then as a therapist in inpatient and community settings. That background includes work with eating disorders, chemical dependency, and complex psychiatric presentations, as well as supporting foster parents and therapeutic foster care systems.

Her approach is collaborative and straightforward. Suzanne uses a mix of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, client-centered techniques, and solution-focused methods. She asks questions, listens, and helps people try specific strategies for handling anger and stress in real situations.

Sessions emphasize skills that can be used between meetings. People practice noticing triggers, testing new responses, and shifting patterns that lead to snapping or built-up resentment. Suzanne favors clear goals and short-term tools alongside deeper work when needed.

She offers sessions by live video and by phone chat, and she does not use live text chat for therapy. Before booking, clients should confirm current session arrangements and scheduling details. Suzanne aims to help people find manageable ways to handle anger and related concerns.
