About Susanne
Susanne Sogar is a Florida-based licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with five years of clinical experience. She welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, grief, life changes, or relationship strain and wants to help them find clearer steps forward. She focuses on building a trusting relationship first.
Sessions are practical and goal-oriented. She helps clients spot strengths they may not notice and uses simple, concrete strategies to address stress, mood concerns, phobias, and parenting or intimacy-related questions.
Background and approach
Susanne draws on approaches that target thoughts and behaviors, process traumatic memories, and set short-term goals. She adapts methods to fit each person's situation rather than following a fixed plan. That makes sessions feel collaborative and focused on what matters most to the client.
As someone who spent part of her life in Germany and other countries, she pays attention to cultural and spiritual background. She respects different belief systems and aims to make therapy feel relatable regardless of a person's worldview. Sessions are offered in English and German and can include phone or video conversations and text-based options.
People who live outside the United States may also work with her. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and choose a suitable appointment time.
Approaches and online options for phobias and trauma
Susanne commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing as part of her online practice. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing the behaviors that keep problems going; it can help with anxiety, phobias, and mood issues. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) helps people process troubling memories and reduce the intensity of traumatic reactions over time.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss your history, goals, and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. Plans are adjusted as therapy proceeds so the work stays relevant and useful for your situation.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video is useful for deeper conversation and exercises that need visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a short break or work around bandwidth limits. Live chat and messaging let people check in between sessions or use written notes when speaking is hard. These options help therapy fit into busy schedules and different life situations.
