Susanna White, LPC

Susanna White is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 20 years of experience practicing in Missouri. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, anger, bipolar mood concerns, and depression. She aims to make beginning therapy straightforward and approachable for someone taking that first step.

In sessions she creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about painful thoughts and strong feelings. She listens first and helps clients name what matters to them. Conversations tend to center on practical steps that can be used between sessions to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

Her background includes work across mood and anxiety concerns, and a range of life stressors such as divorce, blended family challenges, communication problems, and midlife transitions. She also works with issues like panic attacks, guilt and shame, self-harm thoughts, and recovery after sexual assault and abuse.

Therapy draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy. These methods are used to help people notice unhelpful patterns, try new responses, and build skills that fit their life.

Sessions are conducted in English and German for people located in Missouri. People who want to begin are encouraged to use the site's Start Therapy button to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a session based on therapist availability.

Therapeutic approaches for online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and midlife questions about meaning and direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with panic, worry, and mood symptoms by giving clear strategies to try between sessions.

Finding the best approach is a team effort. The therapist will work collaboratively to understand goals, preferences, and daily demands, and then suggest which methods to emphasize. That choice can shift over time as needs change and new skills are practiced.

Confirm the current session options before booking, since formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins on demanding days, and reduce travel time. It can also let people work with clinicians who use ACT or CBT while balancing work and family commitments.
