About Susan
Susan Hart is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 13 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and a range of other struggles including addiction and grief.
Susan focuses on how habits, patterns, and thinking errors get in the way of daily life. She looks at what people do to avoid pain and what they really want instead. Sessions aim to make those patterns clearer so practical steps can be taken.
Her work draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and existential ideas to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test different responses. That can mean examining automatic thoughts, trying small behavior changes, and talking about meaning and values when big life questions appear.
Susan also addresses issues such as self-esteem, parenting stress, eating concerns, and coping with life changes. She supports people working through trauma and abuse, bipolar challenges, anger, and relationship strain while also offering a focus on self-love.
She invites clients to identify goals and then break them into manageable steps. Early sessions often focus on what’s getting in the way now and which small changes could have a noticeable effect. Later work tracks progress and adjusts strategies as needed.
How CBT and Existential Work Translate to Online Sessions
People can expect Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many day-to-day problems by targeting the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions.Existential Therapy is about discussing meaning, values, and life direction. It can help when people are wrestling with purpose, major transitions, or painful questions about relationships and identity.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Susan will collaborate with clients to decide whether CBT techniques, existential conversations, or a mix of both fit best. Together they set goals, try techniques in real life, and adjust methods based on what works.
