About Susan
Susan Hart is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 13 years of experience helping adults work through stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, and anger. She also supports people facing depression, addiction, grief, eating issues, parenting strains, trauma and abuse, bipolar challenges, self-esteem and self-love struggles, and major life changes.
Hart describes the patterns she sees plainly: people avoid painful feelings by using substances, behaviors, or people. She focuses on helping clients spot the habits and thinking errors that get in the way. Sessions center on identifying what a person wants and practical steps to move toward those goals.
Her approach emphasizes clear-eyed insight and small, doable changes. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior. She also draws on Existential Therapy to look at meaning, values, and the choices a person makes in life.
In conversation she aims to treat each client as an individual. That means adjusting work to fit how a person thinks and acts, rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan. The focus is on recognizing obstacles and building skills to handle them differently.
People who come because they snap at loved ones, hold resentment, or feel overwhelmed at work will find a practical, hands-on style. Hart encourages honest talk about what is blocking progress and then maps out clear, realistic next steps.
How sessions work
How CBT and Existential ideas are used in online sessions
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on the connections between thoughts, feelings and behavior. It helps identify thinking errors and replace them with alternative ways of responding, which can reduce irritability and reactive patterns.Existential Therapy looks at values, meaning and choices. It can help someone who feels stuck or who struggles with questions about identity, purpose, or the consequences of their actions in relationships.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences and life situation. That might mean trying behavioral skills first, then moving to deeper values work as trust builds.
