About Suong
Suong Goodhart is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, depression, parenting challenges, and low self-esteem. She works with individuals and in relationship and family settings, aiming to make therapy practical and understandable.
Background and approach
Her style is warm and interactive and she focuses on building a respectful, trusting connection first. With 17 years of experience, she draws on approaches that help clients notice thinking patterns, discover small workable changes, and center conversations on each person’s needs.
Sessions use everyday language and clear goals, so parents and busy adults can follow along without feeling overwhelmed. Suong tailors plans to the situation rather than using one fixed method.
She believes hope matters when life feels uncertain. In difficult moments she helps people find small strengths to build on, and in times of loss she supports practical steps toward healing.
The relationship in the room is treated with respect and dignity at all times. Suong adapts sessions to each person’s schedule and goals.
Whether someone needs short-term problem solving or longer work on recurring struggles, she works collaboratively to set goals and track progress. Her Minnesota licensure as a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) is part of her professional background.
Her approach is grounded in common-sense techniques that families and individuals can use day to day. Conversations focus on what can change now, and on skills people can practice between sessions.
She aims to help clients feel steadier and more able to manage life’s demands.
How Suong’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person’s experience and building a trusting relationship. It helps when someone needs a listening space and gentle guidance to make sense of feelings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and actions. It uses simple exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and practice different responses, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress.
Solution-Focused Therapy narrows in on small, achievable steps and what’s already working. This approach suits people who want shorter-term, goal-oriented work to solve specific problems.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. Suong will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and daily demands, and then suggest methods that match those needs. The choice of approach is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy lives. Video calls let conversations feel more like in-person sessions. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when a camera isn’t wanted. Live chat or text messaging can support brief check-ins, quick problem-solving, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a family schedule or a packed workday.
