About Susanna

Susanna White is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 20 years of experience. She helps people handle stress, anxiety, relationship problems, anger, bipolar disorder, and depression. Sessions are conducted in English and German. She does not work with international clients.

Susanna focuses on clear, practical steps people can use outside sessions. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice patterns of thinking and try different actions. Mindfulness exercises and client-centered conversation are used to slow down intense moments and make decisions from a clearer place.

Her style is straightforward and steady. She invites clients to describe what is happening and what they want to change. Together they map small, achievable goals and test what works in real life. Sessions include talking through recent conflicts, trying brief skills, and reflecting on what changed between meetings.

Susanna has worked across a range of issues including mood disorders, panic attacks, communication problems, and the effects of trauma such as sexual assault and abuse. She also addresses blended family challenges, infidelity, and the stress faced by first responders. Her practice considers co-occurring conditions and multicultural concerns as part of treatment planning.

To begin, clients use the site's matching process to schedule a first appointment. The work emphasizes practical tools you can use right away, with follow-up that checks how those tools fit into day-to-day life.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when emotions are strong. It is often used for anxiety, anger, and mood shifts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is commonly used for stress, panic, and depressive symptoms. Finding the right approach is part of the process and the therapist treats it as a collaboration. She will discuss goals, try an approach, and adapt based on what works and what does not. That collaborative testing helps identify practical strategies you can use between sessions. Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life, allow shorter check-ins when you need them, and reduce travel time. For people managing anger or mood problems, having sessions that fit into a routine can make practicing new skills more feasible.
