About Susanne
Susanne Sogar, LMHC, began her counseling path after studying and living in several countries, including time spent in Germany and the United States. She brings five years of clinical experience and a focus on helping people manage anxiety and stress. Susanne works in Florida and speaks both English and German, which can help when cultural perspective matters.
Her sessions start with building a reliable, nonjudgmental relationship. She looks for strengths clients may not yet see and helps people set small, practical steps forward.
Background and approach
Susanne uses clear, goal-focused methods to tackle problems like anxiety, grief, depression, and life transitions. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and change behaviors that maintain distress. Susanne also uses EMDR for processing traumatic memories and Solution-Focused Therapy to set concrete short-term goals.
These approaches are used in ways that fit each person’s needs. People reach out to her about a wide range of concerns: parenting strain, relationship and intimacy issues, anger, low self-esteem, career stress, ADHD, attachment issues, phobias, and coping with end-of-life or hospice situations. She accepts international clients and adapts work to different cultural and spiritual backgrounds.
Sessions may include talk work, practical homework, and skill building. Susanne aims to make therapy straightforward and useful so people can notice steady change. If someone wants to move forward, she encourages an initial step to see if the working relationship feels right.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Susanne commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing in her online work. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors through practical exercises and homework; it helps with anxiety, depression, phobias, and stress. EMDR focuses on processing distressing memories through guided attention and can be used when trauma or intense painful memories are part of the problem.Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, concerns, and what feels comfortable. Together they decide whether CBT, EMDR, Solution-Focused techniques, or a mix will fit best and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow more face-to-face interaction and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can work well for a quick check-in. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief updates, coaching-style support, or when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving, travel, or international time zones.
