About Susan

Susan Hart is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 13 years of clinical experience based in Missouri. She helps people identify patterns that get in the way of calm and connection. Her work often includes anger, stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship or intimacy concerns.

Susan takes a practical, down-to-earth approach in sessions. She listens first, then helps people spot habits and thinking errors that reinforce unhappy cycles. Conversations focus on clear goals and small, achievable steps to change what isn’t working.

Background and approach

She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. She also uses Existential Therapy to look at meaning, values, and how choices shape a life. These approaches are used flexibly to match the person in front of her.

Susan supports people dealing with addiction, grief, trauma and abuse, body image and eating concerns, and struggles with self-esteem and self-love. She also works with clients facing bipolar symptoms, parenting stress, and major life transitions. Sessions are conversational and practical.

Susan aims to help clients make real changes they can carry into daily life. If someone wants clearer direction, fewer angry reactions, or stronger self-respect, she focuses on tools and insight that move them forward.

Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist names and does not check training records.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

CBT helps people notice patterns of thinking that lead to stress, anxiety, or angry reactions. Therapy then tests different ways of thinking and small behavior changes to see what reduces symptoms and improves daily routines. Existential Therapy focuses on values, meaning, and personal choice, helping people who feel stuck or unsure about life direction to clarify what matters and act on it.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, worries, and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. Together they review what works and adjust the plan as needed so sessions stay practical and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to work on these goals. Video calls let people use visual cues and have longer conversations, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter check-ins, written reflection, or ongoing accountability between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy schedules and keep momentum between appointments.
