Welcome to Barefoot and Grounded Counseling Compassionate Virtual Therapy for Adults and Couples

Hello, I’m Suzanne Oddo, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) providing compassionate, virtual therapy for adults and couples across Illinois, North Carolina, and Ohio.

If you are navigating difficult relationship challenges, processing grief and loss, or feeling overwhelmed by major life transitions, you don’t have to walk through it alone. With a structured, supportive, and nonjudgmental approach, my goal is to help you identify the patterns keeping you stuck, strengthen healthy boundaries, and build practical coping strategies for lasting change.

Areas of Focus Include:

• Life Transitions & Women’s Issues: Rebuilding your sense of self.
• Grief & Loss: Support drawing from several years of experience in medical social work, hospice, and caregiving settings.
• Relationship Challenges: Breaking unhelpful cycles, improving communication, and developing secure attachments.
• Christian Counseling: Optional faith-based integration for those who wish to include their spiritual beliefs in the healing process.
