About Sara
Sara Schuessler is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri who helps people facing stress, anger, anxiety, and life transitions. She writes simple, goal-focused plans and works with clients who want practical changes. Sessions are conversational and aimed at making daily life feel more manageable.
Sara draws on 14 years of clinical experience in a variety of settings, including residential treatment, homes, and schools. That range has shaped a flexible style that fits different needs and ages.
Background and approach
She emphasizes a warm, client-centered approach where the person’s goals guide each session. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Solution-focused methods help people build on what already works and set clear, short-term goals.
Trauma-focused approaches are available when past events are getting in the way of current functioning. She has worked with concerns such as parenting strain, family conflict, ADHD, depression, relationship issues, grief, self-esteem, and anger. Sara prioritizes plain language and specific strategies clients can use between sessions.
The work is collaborative - the client leads and Sara offers structure and tools. Outside of practice she enjoys reading, cycling on her Peloton, shopping at Target, and spending time with family and their dog. That everyday perspective often shows up in her practical, down-to-earth style.

How her approaches translate to online care
Sara uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on each person’s priorities. That means conversations start with what matters most to the client and move at a comfortable pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps spot patterns of thinking that feed stress or anger and then tries out different behaviors to see what changes feelings and outcomes.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your needs, adjusting plans as you go. This is a collaborative process where you help decide which tools to use and when to shift direction.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different schedules and preferences. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and exercises, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works well for brief check-ins, and text messaging is useful for quick updates or ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine and try formats that suit how you like to communicate.
