About Suzanne

Suzanne Chait is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York with 25 years of professional experience. She helps people manage stress and anxiety, cope with grief and loss, and navigate relationship and family concerns. She also addresses intimacy-related issues, trauma and abuse, parenting strains, depression, and problems such as infidelity, jealousy, obsessions, compulsions, and OCD.

In sessions she focuses on clear conversation and practical steps. She listens to what is happening now and asks about goals people want to reach. Suzanne works with clients to name patterns, try small changes, and track what helps in daily life. She keeps language simple and actions concrete so progress is easier to see.

Her background spans clinical and community settings over a long career in New York. That experience informs how she helps people who are juggling work, family, and health stressors. Suzanne draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques suited to each concern and explains options in plain terms.

People who come to her typically want to reduce anxiety, repair relationship strain, manage compulsive behaviors, or cope with loss. First sessions focus on immediate needs and practical next steps. Follow-up work looks at patterns and builds skills for handling future challenges.

Suzanne asks people to be clear about what they want from therapy and to set small, measurable goals. She uses the first meetings to outline a plan and check in regularly so adjustments can be made as life changes.

BHow sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Two evidence-based approaches Suzanne commonly uses are cognitive strategies and behavioral techniques. Cognitive strategies involve looking at unhelpful thoughts, testing them, and practicing alternative ways of thinking to reduce anxiety and low mood. Behavioral techniques focus on changing routines and habits - for example, facing feared situations step by step or setting clear activity and sleep patterns to improve mood and functioning.

She also uses skills-based work aimed at compulsions and obsessive behaviors, breaking tasks into manageable steps and teaching concrete tools to reduce repetitive actions and intrusive thoughts. That work is practical and focused on what to try between sessions to measure progress.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Suzanne treats the choice of techniques as collaborative and adjusts methods based on each person's needs, goals, and preferences. Early sessions are used to agree on targets and to check whether the plan is helping.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and avoid travel time, which helps maintain consistency with therapy appointments.
