Suzan White-House is a licensed mental health counselor with 35 years of professional experience in Florida. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She also supports those dealing with relationship strain, attention and focus concerns, and panic symptoms.

Background and approach
Her background includes roles in shelters and community programs that shaped a nonjudgmental approach to care. Time working at a battered women’s shelter informed her understanding of trauma and survival. Experience in homeless services reinforced a focus on gratitude and practical help.
Suzan also spent years involved with Montessori education, which gave her hands-on insight into children and teenagers from an educational perspective. She served as a Military Family Life Counselor with all service branches, gaining experience around deployments and the stresses faced by military families. Sessions tend to be straightforward and goal-oriented.
She listens closely, helps people name what feels hard, and works on steps to reduce distress. Her style is warm, direct, and focused on usable strategies that fit each person’s life.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online care
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques here focus on practical tools that reduce anxiety and improve coping. One common approach emphasizes skills for managing worry and panic through breathing, grounding, and step-by-step exposure to feared situations; this helps reduce the intensity of panic attacks and anxious avoidance. Another approach centers on mood and behavior change by identifying patterns, setting small goals, and building routines to lift mood and increase focus.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist listens to concerns, reviews what has helped in the past, and tailors methods to the client's goals and preferences. Over time they check progress and adjust techniques so the work fits the person's life and needs.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets people work face-to-face when they prefer a fuller conversation. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or for a simpler check-in. Live chat and messaging support brief check-ins, homework follow-up, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options help therapy fit work, family, and travel schedules.
