Susanne Sogar, LMHC

Susanne Sogar is a licensed mental health counselor with five years of experience based in Florida. She guides people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about the next chapter of life. Her background includes work with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and coping with life changes, including midlife crisis concerns.

She begins by building a trusting relationship. That foundation helps clients speak honestly about what is hard and what they want to change. Susanne looks for practical strengths clients already have and helps them use those strengths in everyday life.

Her approach blends structured tools and trauma-aware methods. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to challenge unhelpful thoughts and Solution-Focused Therapy to set small, doable goals. She also draws on EMDR and trauma-focused methods when past events are keeping someone stuck.

Susanne honors cultural and spiritual backgrounds. Having lived in multiple countries and originally from Germany, she offers sessions in English and German and respects different worldviews when planning care. She works with people facing relationship strain, parenting stress, career questions, and identity concerns including LGBT-related issues.

Sessions emphasize clear steps and realistic progress. Susanne aims to help clients leave therapy with concrete strategies for managing emotions, improving relationships, and moving through life transitions. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that fits their needs.

Approaches in online sessions and what they do

Susanne commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR as part of her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns and replace them with more useful actions; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is a trauma-aware method that can help reduce the intensity of distressing memories and their emotional hold on daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods match a person's goals, needs, and comfort level. That may mean trying one method for a few sessions and adjusting based on how the client responds.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online care can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, and allow people to connect from different locations or time zones. Licensed professionals can use structured tools, homework, and focused conversations effectively through remote sessions, helping people make progress without changing their daily routines.
