Dr. Suzanne Degges-White, LCMHC, LCPC

Dr. Suzanne Degges-White welcomes people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward. She focuses on practical change and helps people build skills to manage stress, anxiety, loss, relationship strain, and trauma and abuse. She speaks plainly and works to make the work feel doable for busy lives.

She frames therapy around each person's strengths and choices. She helps clients notice options, try small changes, and follow through on goals. Sessions often include brief homework like journaling or reading to keep progress between meetings.

Dr. Degges-White draws on a humanistic foundation and borrows techniques from cognitive behavioral approaches, existential ideas, and Jungian perspectives when they fit the concern. That mix is used to shift thinking patterns, test new behaviors, and clarify meaning in life transitions.

She brings 24 years of experience and holds LCMHC and LCPC credentials. Her background includes work with relationship issues, self-esteem, coping with life changes, addictions, grief, parenting concerns, and compassion fatigue, among other focuses.

People who want a collaborative, strengths-based process tend to do well with her style. She encourages practical steps and reflection so clients can make choices that move their lives in the directions they want.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Dr. Degges-White often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts, connect with personal values, and take values-based action even when feelings are difficult. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and building on each person's strengths so they can make clearer choices.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will collaborate with clients to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, adjusting techniques as needs change. That teamwork helps shape session priorities and homework between meetings.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can focus on making steady progress. Licensed professionals can use the same therapeutic methods online as in person, and homework such as journaling or bibliotherapy translates well to remote formats. Confirm available session formats when you schedule.
