About Susan

Susan Hart is a licensed professional counselor with 13 years of practice in Missouri. She focuses on helping people notice what gets in the way of the life they want. Sessions are direct and practical, aimed at identifying habits and thinking patterns that cause pain or keep goals out of reach.

She blends Existential therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people make clearer choices. Existential work looks at meaning, values, and what matters most.

Background and approach

CBT targets unhelpful thoughts and small behavior changes that add up over time. Susan pays attention to each person as an individual. She listens for patterns - recurring thoughts, reactions, and coping moves - and then offers concrete steps to shift them.

She also focuses on self-love and rebuilding a kinder relationship with oneself. Common concerns she addresses include stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, eating concerns, anger, bipolar challenges, self-esteem, and parenting strain. She also supports people navigating life changes and questions about identity, including LGBT matters.

Sessions can include talking through current problems, experimenting with small changes, and reflecting on bigger life choices. The work is collaborative: goals are set together and progress is reviewed as sessions move forward.

Online support

How Susan blends approach and online care

Existential therapy looks at questions of meaning, choice, and values. It helps people name what matters most and make decisions that fit their sense of purpose, which can be useful for people facing big life changes or questions about identity.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on thoughts and behaviors. It uses simple exercises to spot unhelpful thinking and try new actions that reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

Finding the right mix is a team effort. The therapist will listen to goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan as progress is reviewed. Clients help shape which approach fits their needs and comfort level.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video is good for a full conversation and visual cues; phone can be a quicker check-in or work better when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging let people send short updates or check in between sessions without scheduling a call. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, school, and family life while keeping the focus on practical steps and meaningful questions.
