About Susanne
Susanne Sogar is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Florida with five years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and major life changes. She also helps with relationship and intimacy issues, parenting concerns, and challenges related to identity and career.
Susanne uses clear, goal-focused work to help clients find practical steps forward. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behavior.
Background and approach
She also uses trauma-focused methods and EMDR to address painful memories and intense reactions when those are part of the problem. Sessions are conversational and down-to-earth. She aims to build trust first, then identify a person’s strengths and small, achievable changes.
The focus is on what works now and what can make life easier in the coming weeks and months. Susanne respects cultural and spiritual differences and speaks both English and German. She accepts international clients and offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, so people can pick formats that fit their schedules.
Her practice suits people who want practical tools plus emotional support during transitions. Susanne helps clients set reasonable goals and track progress with short, doable steps. If someone prefers a straightforward, supportive approach, she can be a helpful partner in that work.
How her approaches work in online sessions
Susanne commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and EMDR in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress by breaking problems into manageable steps. EMDR is a trauma-informed method that helps reduce the emotional intensity of painful memories and experiences, and it can be helpful when past events keep affecting daily life.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and preferences. Together they decide whether CBT, EMDR, or a trauma-focused plan is the best starting point, and they adjust the plan as progress is made.
Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging brings practical flexibility. Video works well for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day or require less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging let people check in between sessions or use shorter, focused exchanges. These options make it easier to maintain therapy during work, travel, or varied schedules while still working toward meaningful goals.
