About Susan
Susan Hart is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 13 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy problems, anger, addictions, grief, eating concerns, parenting challenges, and other life changes. She also addresses issues related to self-esteem, self-love, LGBT concerns, trauma and bipolar disorder.
Susan focuses on helping people notice what gets in the way of their goals. She pays attention to individual habits, recurring patterns, and thinking errors that can cloud choices. In sessions she helps clients name what they want and consider practical steps toward it.
Her style is straightforward. She talks through patterns and helps clients spot behaviors they rely on to avoid pain. That can mean looking at how substances, food, relationships, or routines are being used to cope. The emphasis is on recognizing things that hold people back and testing small changes.
Susan uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ideas to examine thoughts and actions. She also draws on Existential Therapy to look at meaning, values, and choices when life feels stuck. Both approaches aim to make problems more understandable and manageable in day-to-day life.
Sessions are aimed at helping people clarify what they want and how to pursue it. She encourages practical steps and reflection rather than quick fixes. The work is collaborative and focused on steady change over time.
How her approaches translate to online work
Susan uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and test unhelpful thoughts and habits. CBT breaks down a problem into thoughts, feelings, and actions so people can try concrete changes and see what helps. It is often used for anxiety, anger, depression, and stress.She also uses Existential Therapy to look at values, meaning, and choice. This approach helps when someone feels stuck, questions their direction, or wants clearer priorities in life. It focuses on what matters and how choices shape day-to-day living.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will help clients decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice is collaborative and can change as therapy moves forward.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a workday or to keep appointments without travel. Others prefer shorter check-ins when time is tight or audio-only calls when bandwidth is limited. Ask about the available formats when you schedule so sessions can fit into everyday life.
