Susanna White

Susanna White is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri with 20 years of experience. She focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood concerns, anger, and relationship difficulties. Susanna aims to make beginning therapy straightforward and manageable for people worried about where to start.

She creates an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about thoughts and feelings. Sessions are intended to be collaborative conversations that identify what is causing upset and what feels most important to change. Susanna emphasizes clear steps rather than long explanations.

Her work often includes tools drawn from cognitive behavioral approaches to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Mindfulness techniques are used to help people notice the present moment and reduce overwhelm. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy strategies support values-based choices when emotions feel strong.

Susanna also uses a client-centered stance that follows the person's lead and pace. This helps people feel heard while they try practical strategies. She supports people dealing with divorce and separation concerns as part of broader relationship and family stress.

She has experience with issues such as communication problems, blended family challenges, infidelity, guilt and shame, panic attacks, self-harm, sexual assault and co-occurring conditions. Sessions are conducted in English and German as needed. The first meeting is used to clarify goals and plan follow-up steps.

How her approaches work in online therapy

Susanna uses practical, evidence-informed approaches that translate well to remote work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depressed mood. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values and take small steps toward what matters, even when emotions are difficult. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and improve focus.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to the person's goals and everyday challenges, then suggest experiments and exercises to try. Adjustments are made based on what helps most in weekly check-ins so the plan fits the client's needs and preferences.

Confirm the current session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten check-ins when time is tight, or use audio rather than video when bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals can use remote sessions to teach skills, review homework, and track progress so therapy fits into everyday life without needing long travel times.
