About Susanne

Susanne Sogar is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor with five years of clinical practice. She brings a practical, strengths-oriented perspective to therapy and emphasizes building a trusting therapeutic relationship as the foundation for change.

Background and approach

Susanne blends structured methods with attention to each client’s cultural and personal background, drawing on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR to address painful memories, persistent worry, and difficult life transitions. Her work is rooted in helping clients identify existing strengths and develop tangible strategies for moving forward.

Susanne values a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where clients can explore grief, anxiety, relationship concerns, parenting challenges, and questions about identity. Fluent in English and German, she also has experience working with people from varied religious and cultural backgrounds.

Susanne accepts international clients and offers sessions through multiple online formats to accommodate different needs and schedules.

Online approaches and how they fit your needs

Susanne commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. She also incorporates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for clients processing traumatic memories or distressing past events; this approach aims to reduce the emotional charge of painful recollections while supporting adaptive coping.

Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to consider presenting problems, personal goals, and treatment preferences, and will adapt or combine approaches as the work progresses to find what helps most.

Online therapy with Susanne uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different lifestyles and time zones. These formats make it easier to fit regular sessions into busy schedules, allow people who live far from Florida or outside the country to connect, and support ongoing contact between appointments when appropriate.
