About Susanna
Susanna White is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 20 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, mood changes, relationship challenges, and anger. She aims to make the first step easier by offering steady support and straightforward care.
She creates a calm space where clients can talk about difficult thoughts and feelings without judgment. Sessions are meant to be open and direct so challenges become easier to name and manage. Susanna blends listening with practical tools during conversations.
Her approach draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and mindfulness practices. Those approaches guide how she listens and the kinds of exercises she offers in sessions. She uses simple techniques to help people notice patterns and try new responses.
Susanna also brings experience with issues like bipolar disorder, panic attacks, self-harm, and sexual assault and abuse. She pays attention to cultural background and life transitions like divorce, blended family stress, and midlife concerns. First responder issues and communication problems are additional areas she addresses.
Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. The point is to help people find clearer choices and calmer ways to handle hard moments. If a parent or individual is unsure where to begin, Susanna guides the next step so progress can start in small, manageable ways.
How her approaches translate to online care
Susanna uses Client-Centered Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy as core ways of working. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building a trusting relationship so people can speak openly about what matters most. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings while taking steps toward valued goals rather than getting stuck in unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will work together with clients to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and what feels manageable. That collaboration helps adapt techniques so they suit each person's life and priorities.
Confirm the current online session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins that match weekly routines. It can also let people use audio-only sessions when fewer technical demands are needed or choose sessions that are easier to schedule around work or family commitments. Speak with the therapist during the matching step to clarify which session formats are available and what will work best.
