About Susanna
Susanna White is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 20 years of experience in Missouri. She focuses on practical help for people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, mood changes, and relationship strain. Susanna aims to make the first step easier by offering calm, steady support as people begin to sort things out.
She keeps sessions straightforward and nonjudgmental. Conversations often start with what feels most urgent and move toward small, doable changes.
Background and approach
Susanna listens for patterns in thinking and behavior that keep problems stuck and offers tools to try between sessions. Her work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and take values-driven action. Mindfulness exercises and a client-centered stance help people stay grounded during that process.
Susanna has long experience helping people manage panic attacks, long-term mood disorders such as bipolar and depression, and difficulties with anger and communication. She also supports those dealing with trauma, self-harm urges, and complicated family or relationship transitions. Sessions are offered in English and German.
Susanna blends practical skills with steady listening so people can rebuild routines, handle intense emotions, and reconnect with what matters to them.
How chosen approaches work in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, mood swings, and getting back to meaningful activities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts and behaviors influence feelings and teaches practical steps to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for panic, anxiety, and low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with clients to figure out which methods fit their goals and day-to-day life. That collaboration means techniques can be adjusted over time based on what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for quick updates, reflection prompts, or when someone prefers writing over speaking. These options make it easier to keep consistent care around work, family, or other commitments.
