About Susanna
Susanna White is a Missouri licensed professional counselor with 20 years of experience supporting people who feel overwhelmed by stress and anxiety. She emphasizes a calm, nonjudgmental setting where thoughts and feelings can be shared. Susanna encourages small steps toward clearer goals and steadier days.
Her approach is practical and straightforward. Sessions focus on what is happening now and what can be changed to reduce distress. She helps people understand patterns that keep anxiety or mood problems in place and tests simple ways to interrupt them.
Susanna uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to notice and adjust unhelpful thinking. She also draws on mindfulness practices to help people ground themselves when anxiety spikes. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas are used to link actions to values when decisions feel confusing.
People come with a range of concerns such as panic disorder and panic attacks, mood disorders, relationship strain, and the stress that follows major life changes. Susanna also pays attention to issues like communication problems, blended family adjustments, and cultural differences that affect daily life.
Sessions are offered in English and German. The first meeting usually reviews current struggles and sets clear, manageable goals. Susanna aims to make therapy understandable and usable in everyday life.
How therapy approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and take actions that match their values even when uncomfortable thoughts or feelings are present. It can help when panic or persistent worry makes everyday choices feel harder. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and teaches practical strategies to shift unhelpful thinking and reduce distress. It is often used when panic attacks or anxiety disorders cause repeated, upsetting symptoms.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with each person and together decide which methods fit goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and may change over time as needs evolve.
Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use mindfulness exercises at times when they are most useful, and practice CBT skills between meetings to see what helps in real situations.
