About Suzan
Suzan White-House is a Florida licensed mental health counselor with 35 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, depression, coping with life changes, and attention difficulties including ADHD. She centers the work on each person's strengths and story and aims to provide steady support as people take steps toward change.
She believes clients know their own lives best and brings a practical, listening-focused style to sessions. Conversations are direct and compassionate, aimed at helping people sort priorities, clarify values, and try new ways of handling difficult moments.
Background and approach
She emphasizes honesty and consistent care in the therapeutic relationship. Her background includes years in education using the Montessori approach, which gave her hands-on experience with children's learning and behavior. She also served as a military family life counselor supporting service members and their loved ones through deployments and related stresses.
Those roles shaped a calm, flexible approach to working through tough transitions. Suzan spent time at a battered women’s shelter and worked with people in homeless shelters, which deepened her commitment to nonjudgmental, practical support. She brings that grounded perspective to sessions, helping people with everyday problems as well as complex emotional situations.
She is comfortable talking about difficult topics and listening without judgment. Her aim is to help people build on strengths, manage impulsivity or concentration struggles, and find clearer ways forward in life.
Concrete approaches and flexible online care
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques she uses focus on teaching practical skills and changing unhelpful patterns. One common approach helps people identify and change thoughts and behaviors that increase anxiety or low mood, with exercises to practice between sessions. Another approach centers on improving emotional awareness and how someone relates to their feelings, which can reduce impulsivity, improve coping with life changes, and ease relationship strain.Choosing the right approach happens together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. From that conversation they will try methods that fit the person's daily life and adjust as progress and needs become clearer.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy more convenient. Video lets people keep a face-to-face rhythm while fitting sessions into a busy day. Phone sessions work well when internet bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging let someone send thoughts between sessions and maintain contact on a flexible schedule. These options help people access consistent support without major travel or schedule barriers.
