About Susan
Susan Hart is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who brings 13 years of experience to her work. She focuses on practical steps parents and adults can use to manage stress, anxiety, relationships, self-esteem, and parenting challenges. Her approach is straightforward and goal-oriented, with an emphasis on noticing patterns that get in the way of daily life.
Susan listens for the habits and thinking errors that keep people stuck. She helps clients spot those patterns and try small, concrete changes.
Background and approach
Sessions are tailored to each person rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan. Clients can expect clear, direct conversation and simple tools to test between sessions. Susan blends cognitive behavioral ideas with existential questions about values and meaning.
That mix supports work on anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, and identity concerns such as LGBT issues. She also helps people address intimacy, anger, eating issues, bipolar management, and major life transitions. She places particular attention on parenting concerns and on building self-love as a foundation for other changes.
That means practical parenting strategies alongside work on the parent’s own thoughts and emotions. The goal is to help people make choices that match what matters most to them. Susan practices from Missouri and conducts sessions in English.
Her style suits people who want direct feedback, concrete practices, and time to reflect on meaning and values. If someone prefers a therapist who pairs skill-building with questions about purpose, Susan may be a good fit.

Approaches Susan lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist names and does not check training records.
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Susan uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and habits. CBT breaks problems into small parts so you can try specific behavior or thinking changes and see what helps with anxiety, depression, or stress.She also uses Existential Therapy to explore values, meaning, and purpose. That approach invites questions about what matters most and how clients want to spend their energy, which can be useful for coping with life changes, grief, or identity concerns.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Susan will work with each person to decide whether CBT techniques, existential reflection, or a blend fits their goals and preferences. She checks in about progress and adjusts focus as needs evolve.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for in-depth conversation and seeing nonverbal cues, phone is useful when bandwidth is limited, chat fits brief check-ins, and messaging lets people reflect in writing between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to choose a format that matches how someone likes to communicate.
