About Susanna

Susanna White is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 20 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping adults navigate stress, anxiety, mood disorders including bipolar disorder, depression, and challenges around anger and relationships.

Background and approach

Her work also addresses a wide range of related concerns such as panic attacks, family and blended family issues, communication problems, and the effects of trauma and sexual assault. She draws from evidence-informed methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), client-centered approaches, and mindfulness practices to create a collaborative therapy process.

Sessions emphasize an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored honestly. Susanna aims to help clients identify practical strategies and personal values that support healthier patterns and greater emotional resilience.

Fluent in English and German, she brings two decades of practice to work with clients across multicultural backgrounds and complex co-morbid presentations. Her approach balances structured techniques and empathic listening to match each person’s goals and preferences while addressing issues like self-harm risk, infidelity, guilt and shame, and midlife transitions.

Therapeutic Approaches and Accessible Online Care

Susanna uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills for managing anxiety, mood symptoms, and stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is also used to explore personal values and encourage meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present, which can be helpful for mood disorders and relationship challenges.

Deciding which approach fits best is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist collaborates with each client to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and then adapts techniques so the work aligns with what the client hopes to achieve. This collaborative stance helps tailor sessions whether the focus is symptom management, communication, or rebuilding after trauma.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling and accessibility across distances. These formats allow licensed professionals to deliver consistent care that fits into busy lives and supports ongoing progress between sessions.
