Susan Hart , LPC

Susan Hart approaches therapy from a belief that connection matters and that many people attempt to fill emotional gaps in ways that ultimately cause more pain. She notices that items, substances, or relationships are sometimes used to avoid discomfort, and she guides individuals toward focused insight so they can begin to transform the problem areas in their lives. Her purpose is teaching people to identify what holds them back from reaching their goals and to develop practical steps for change.

In session, Susan emphasizes the unique needs of each person. She recognizes that no two people experience challenges in the same way and that habits, recurring patterns, and thinking errors can cloud decision making. By helping clients clarify what they truly want and by exploring strategies to attain those goals, she supports steady, realistic progress.

Susan is a LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor - who aims to help individuals become the people they aspire to be. She frames longings and values as meaningful guides and works collaboratively to uncover the reasons behind a client’s heart-felt desires and how to pursue them with intention.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Practice

Susan Hart integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Existential Therapy into her online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors so that clients can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress and build more effective coping strategies. Existential Therapy explores meaning, values, and personal responsibility, helping people navigate life transitions, questions of purpose, and the emotional impact of difficult choices.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Susan works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best. She assesses a client’s needs, goals, and preferences and tailors sessions so that techniques from these approaches support realistic, personally meaningful change.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and shorter exchanges can happen through live chat or text-based messaging. This range of options makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to maintain continuity of care when schedules or life circumstances change, while still allowing licensed professionals and therapists to provide thoughtful, evidence-informed support.
