About Susan
Susan starts by finding what each person needs. She listens for habits, patterns, and thinking errors that steer decisions. Then she helps people name what is holding them back and set small steps toward change.
Her sessions use plain language and practical ideas. People can expect conversations that examine choices and behaviors. Susan helps clients clarify what they want and how to move in that direction.
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior. She also uses Existential Therapy to look at meaning, values, and how life choices fit a person's goals. Both approaches are used to address issues such as grief, trauma, addictions, eating concerns, and self-esteem.
Susan works with people who want to improve intimacy, parenting, or manage life transitions. She also supports those exploring self-love and identity concerns, including LGBT issues. Her practice is based in Missouri and sessions are conducted in English.

How these approaches translate to online therapy
Susan uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change them through practical exercises. CBT focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and can help with anxiety, depression, anger, and coping skills.She also draws on Existential Therapy to look at values, life choices, and personal meaning. This approach supports people who are questioning direction, seeking greater self-love, or wanting to make choices that fit their goals.
Finding the right method is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then try approaches that match those priorities. Adjustments are made as therapy progresses so the work fits the person rather than the other way around.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Many people find online sessions useful because they can fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and existential work to remote sessions by assigning short exercises, reflection tasks, and focused conversation to keep progress moving.
