Susanne Sogar , LMHC

Susanne Sogar is a licensed mental health counselor practicing in Florida who approaches therapy with a pragmatic and compassionate focus. She frames counseling as a deliberate act of strength and change, guiding people who are anxious, grieving, overwhelmed by life transitions, or navigating relationship and identity challenges toward clearer coping strategies and renewed hope. Susanne emphasizes building a trustworthy, understanding relationship as the foundation for identifying each person’s strengths and developing practical, forward-looking solutions.

Her work honors cultural and spiritual identities shaped by diverse life experiences. As someone who has lived abroad and maintained ties to Germany, she brings sensitivity to cultural differences and respects the unique backgrounds clients bring to therapy. Susanne works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, anger, self-esteem, ADHD, and career-related stress.

Susanne holds the credential LMHC, which stands for Licensed Mental Health Counselor, and she has five years of clinical experience. She provides services in English and German and is available to work with international clients. At this time Susanne is not accepting new clients, but her approach centers on collaboration, practical tools, and respect for each person’s strengths and values.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support and Healing

Susanne commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR as part of her clinical toolkit. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and learning practical skills to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress while improving daily functioning. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is an approach that helps process distressing memories and reduce the intensity of trauma-related reactions by using structured, evidence-informed procedures.

She also incorporates Solution-Focused Therapy to help clients set concrete goals and discover immediate, practical steps toward change. Finding the best therapeutic approach is a collaborative process - Susanne works with each person to determine which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to connect across distances. These options offer flexibility in scheduling, continuity when travel or relocation is involved, and multiple ways to engage so clients can choose the format that feels most comfortable and effective.
