Susanne Sogar, LMHC - Therapist in Florida

About Susanne

Susanne Sogar is a licensed mental health counselor who focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, grief, parenting challenges, and related issues. She holds the LMHC credential and practices from Florida. She speaks English and German and brings five years of clinical experience to her work.

She begins by building a trusting relationship. Sessions move at a practical pace. She aims to spot strengths clients may not notice and to find workable steps forward.

Background and approach

That means concrete tools and short-term goals as well as space to talk about feelings. Her background includes training in EMDR - Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing - and a grounding in cognitive behavioral ideas and solution-focused techniques. She uses these methods to address trauma, mood concerns, and repetitive patterns that cause distress.

The work is collaborative and oriented toward real-life change. As someone who has lived abroad and originally comes from Germany, she pays attention to cultural and spiritual identity when relevant. That perspective informs how she listens and what suggestions she offers.

Sessions are conducted in English or German for those who prefer either language. Practical matters are covered up front. She offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging and accepts international clients.

To begin, interested people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a time that fits their needs.

Online approaches that focus on practical change

The therapist uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and change the behaviors that follow. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and everyday stress because it breaks problems into small, manageable steps.

She is also trained in EMDR - Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing - which is a therapeutic method aimed at reducing long-held distress after trauma by processing upsetting memories in a structured way. It can be helpful for people who notice persistent emotional reactions tied to past events.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which method or combination of methods to try and adjust the plan as needed.

Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. These formats let people fit sessions around school, work, and caregiving, and they allow ongoing contact without travel. Practical tools, exercises, and follow-up suggestions can be shared across these formats so progress continues between sessions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

EMDR

A structured protocol used with distressing memories, pairing recall with guided attention tasks. Some therapists adapt it for video sessions; whether that fits is worth asking about directly.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
