Susanne Sogar

Susanne Sogar is a Florida-based licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with five years of clinical experience. She offers a calm, practical approach for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, grief, anxiety, or major life changes. Susanne writes and speaks plainly so clients can focus on small, steady steps forward.

She begins by building a trusting relationship where people feel heard. From there she looks for strengths clients already have. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps that fit day-to-day life rather than long theory talks.

Susanne uses methods such as cognitive behavioral strategies and trauma-informed work to address symptoms and patterns. She also incorporates solution-focused ideas to set short-term goals and EMDR for people who are processing traumatic memories. Her style is collaborative and goal-oriented, aimed at helping people regain a sense of control.

Being originally from Germany and having lived in several countries, Susanne pays attention to cultural and spiritual background when it matters to a person. She respects different worldviews and helps clients connect their values to the changes they want to make.

People often seek her out for help with parenting stress, relationship strain, career concerns, ADHD-related challenges, and midlife transitions. She also supports those facing end-of-life planning, attachment concerns, and issues with intimacy. Susanne communicates in English and German and works with clients who live in Florida as well as international clients.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on therapist availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How her approaches work for online therapy

Susanne uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT offers concrete exercises and short-term goals that can be practiced between sessions to reduce anxiety or improve mood.

She also incorporates EMDR for people processing trauma; this method focuses on reducing the intensity of upsetting memories and the emotions tied to them. Solution-focused therapy is another tool she draws on to set small, achievable goals and track progress quickly.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and the issues you bring, and then suggest a direction to try. That plan can change as you learn what helps and what does not.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a lunch break or letting someone join without travel time. It can also allow work on trauma, anxiety, grief, and life transitions using the same therapeutic methods used in person, adapted to the online setting.
