About Susanne
Susanne Sogar is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor with five years of clinical experience. She speaks English and German and brings a calm, practical approach to common life stresses. Susanne focuses on helping people who face anxiety, grief, parenting strain, depression, and major life changes.
Susanne begins by building trust and a safe working relationship. She listens for strengths the client already has, then helps name and use those strengths in everyday life.
How Susanne works
Sessions focus on clear, doable steps rather than long theory talks. Her work addresses trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, anger, self-esteem, and career stress. She also helps people navigating ADHD, attachment issues, phobias, social anxiety, mood disorders, and end-of-life concerns.
Susanne is open to clients from diverse cultural and spiritual backgrounds and draws on her own experience living abroad to inform her understanding. Therapy sessions use practical tools from approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy and trauma-focused methods. She also uses EMDR and solution-focused techniques when helpful to your goals.
The aim is steady progress through small, achievable changes and mindful attention to what matters most to the client. Sessions are offered in multiple formats including video calls, phone, live chat, and text messaging. Susanne works with international clients and adapts to different schedules and life demands to make therapy fit into real life.

How Susanne’s Methods Work Online
Susanne uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT breaks problems into small parts and offers practical exercises that can be used between sessions to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and improve everyday functioning. EMDR is another tool she may use for people who have distressing memories; it combines focused attention with guided eye movements or alternatives to help process traumatic experiences and reduce their emotional intensity.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about goals, past experiences, and preferences to decide whether CBT, EMDR, solution-focused techniques, or trauma-focused work makes the most sense. The plan can change as progress is made and new needs appear.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video works well for a full conversational session, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is low, live chat offers quick check-ins, and messaging lets clients share updates between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to continue care when travel or relocation occurs.
