About Susan
Susan Hart is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 13 years of experience. She works with people who feel stuck by stress, anxiety, depression, or patterns that keep repeating. Her approach centers on clear goals and small changes that add up over time.
She believes habits, thinking errors, and escape behaviors often hide the real issues. In sessions she helps people spot those patterns and name what they want. Then she works with them to pick practical steps toward those goals.
Background and approach
Susan uses practical tools drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also brings ideas from Existential Therapy to help people find meaning and values when life feels chaotic. These approaches are woven into conversations that are direct and down-to-earth.
Her work covers a wide range of concerns including relationships and intimacy issues, self-esteem and self-love, addictions, grief, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, anger, bipolar mood concerns, parenting stress, and coping with life changes. She also supports LGBT-related issues and family-related struggles from an individual perspective. Susan sees therapy as a collaborative process.
She helps people clarify what matters to them, tries out small experiments between sessions, and adjusts the plan as progress is made. She practices in Missouri and offers sessions in English.
How Susan Uses Practical Approaches Online
Susan commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT helps people test unhelpful thoughts and practice new behaviors to reduce anxiety and manage stress. She also uses Existential Therapy to help people clarify values, find meaning, and face difficult life choices with more intention.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Susan collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adjusts tools and pace as progress is made, so therapy stays relevant and useful rather than rigid.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are a good choice when bandwidth is limited or a quieter voice check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging make it easier to fit short check-ins or ongoing support around work and family demands. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to keep up with over time.
