Her work addresses a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, grief, parenting challenges, depression, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, anger, self-esteem, career concerns, ADHD, and coping with life changes. She also works with attachment issues, hospice and end-of-life counseling, midlife transitions, mood disorders, phobias, and social anxiety. Susanne uses clinical approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy to tailor care to each person’s needs.

As an expat from Germany who has lived in several countries, Susanne respects cultural and spiritual identities and offers therapy in both English and German. She accepts international clients and provides sessions through multiple remote formats. Her style is pragmatic, respectful, and strengths-based, aimed at helping people move toward concrete, positive change.

Therapeutic Approaches for Flexible Online Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is a practical, skills-based approach often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday struggles.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured method that supports processing of traumatic memories and distressing experiences. It can reduce the intensity of painful memories and ease trauma-related symptoms when used by a trained therapist.

Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes clients' strengths and small, achievable steps toward desired changes. It is forward-looking and useful for clarifying goals, solving concrete problems, and building momentum for progress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Susanne collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for people with busy schedules, limited local options, or those living abroad. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provide flexible ways to connect with a licensed professional from home or while traveling, making it easier to attend regular sessions and maintain continuity of care.
