About Susan
Dr. Susan Wise is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 16 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, depression, sleep problems, parenting strain, career questions, LGBT-related issues, and compassion fatigue.
Her work is practical and focused. She listens for the thoughts and habits that make problems worse. Then she offers concrete strategies to test and change those patterns over time. Sessions tend to be straightforward and action-oriented rather than vague or purely reflective.
Dr. Wise uses a mix of approaches to fit each person's needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of her toolkit for noticing thought patterns and trying different responses. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas to address values, coping, and close relationships.
In session she aims to put tools into everyday life. That can mean short experiments between meetings, skills practice, or focused conversations about how relationships influence stress. Expect clear steps and follow-up rather than open-ended chat every time.
She speaks English and Esperanto and has experience with multicultural concerns, veteran and armed forces issues, hoarding, hospice and end-of-life topics, and jealousy. People starting with practical problems - sleep, work stress, or addictive behaviors - will find a structured approach that emphasizes testing what helps.

How CBT, ACT and attachment ideas work in online sessions
Dr. Wise commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. CBT breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions so people can try new responses and measure whether they help.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify personal values and build willingness to accept difficult feelings while moving toward meaningful actions. Attachment-based ideas are used when relationship patterns and early bonds affect current stress and reactions.
Finding the right mix is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to pick approaches that match their goals, preferences, and day-to-day demands. That may mean using CBT techniques for symptom relief while also addressing values and relationship patterns over time.
Confirm the current session formats before booking since the profile does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. If someone prefers a focused skills session, or a longer conversation about relationships, these options can be discussed and scheduled to fit their routine.
