Susanne Sogar, LMHC

Susanne Sogar, LMHC, brings five years of clinical experience to her practice in Florida. She offers calm, direct support for people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and relationship concerns. Susanne emphasizes a respectful, hopeful tone and focuses on practical steps that people can use right away.

She begins by building a trusting connection. That means listening closely, asking clear questions, and helping people name what matters most to them. From there she looks for strengths the person already has and works toward small, manageable goals. Sessions are aimed at real-life change rather than long explanations.

Susanne draws from methods such as cognitive behavioral approaches and trauma-focused work to help with upsetting memories, anxious thinking, or changes in mood. She also uses solution-focused ideas to keep sessions forward-moving and goal oriented. These approaches are adapted to each person’s situation and pace.

Her background includes living and working in multiple countries, and she speaks both English and German. That experience informs how she honors cultural and spiritual differences in sessions. Susanne is a Florida licensed mental health counselor and describes her practice as supportive and pragmatic.

If someone is unsure how to begin, Susanne suggests a brief intake to see if the fit feels right. The process is collaborative: she will help clarify goals and outline concrete next steps so people can decide how to proceed.

How these approaches guide online work

Susanne uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try small behavior changes. CBT is practical and often focuses on steps you can practice between sessions to reduce worry or lift mood.

She also draws on trauma-focused methods and eye movement approaches to address upsetting memories and their current effects. Those approaches aim to reduce the intensity of difficult memories and help people regain a sense of control in daily life.

Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. Susanne will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels manageable. Together they decide which approach or mix of approaches to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Session formats were not specified in the original profile, so confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and give access to licensed professionals across regions. Susanne can discuss which format makes sense for your schedule and the work you want to do.
