About Susanne

Susanne Sogar is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida with five years of clinical experience. She brings a practical, hopeful approach and speaks both English and German. Her work centers on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship concerns, and life changes.

She focuses on building trust first. Sessions begin by listening and looking for strengths you may not notice. From there she helps set clear, practical goals and small steps toward them.

Background and approach

The pace is collaborative and grounded in everyday coping strategies. Susanne uses a mix of methods that match a person’s needs, including cognitive behavioral techniques and trauma-focused approaches. She also includes EMDR in her toolkit to address traumatic memories when appropriate.

These methods are used to reduce distressing symptoms and to support functional changes at home, work, and in relationships. Clients who prefer direct, solution-oriented work often find her style useful. She also pays attention to cultural and spiritual background, drawing on her experience living in multiple countries to respect different worldviews.

Conversations are straightforward and goal-focused, with practical exercises between sessions when helpful. Sessions may include talk-based problem solving, skills practice for managing strong emotions, and pacing techniques for difficult memories. Susanne aims to help people move from feeling stuck to having manageable next steps.

She encourages questions and works with each person to shape a plan that fits their life and goals.

Approaches Susanne names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist lists and does not check training records.

Approaches for trauma, change, and practical coping

Susanne uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try specific behavior changes. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress to build practical skills and reduce symptoms.

She also works with trauma-focused methods and includes Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, as one option to address distressing memories. Trauma-focused work looks at how past events affect current feelings and behavior and aims to reduce the emotional charge of those memories.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will listen to your concerns, goals, and preferences and then suggest methods that fit. Together you can try an approach and adjust it if it does not feel helpful, keeping the focus on what helps you make steady progress.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and guided exercises, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or chat can suit quick check-ins or shorter sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving schedules while keeping the work consistent and goal-directed.
