About Susan
Dr. Susan Wise is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri with 16 years of experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting pressures, sleep problems, and addiction concerns. She also addresses compassion fatigue and LGBT-related issues.
Her approach is conversational and practical. She uses methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. Sessions focus on clear goals, skills you can try between meetings, and straightforward talk about what is happening at home.
She also pays attention to less common concerns such as hoarding, hospice and end-of-life counseling, jealousy, veteran and armed forces issues, and multicultural matters. That background can shape how she frames problems and suggests strategies. Expect focused work on everyday routines, relationships, and coping habits.
Dr. Wise says she adjusts the pace and topics to fit each person. That can mean learning new ways to notice thoughts, practicing concrete behavior changes, or looking at attachment patterns that affect close relationships. She explains tools and practices in simple terms and helps people try them out between sessions.
Language options include English and Esperanto. International clients may be accepted. For next steps, the site’s booking flow guides you to an initial matching questionnaire and then a first session.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps you clarify what matters most and practice small actions that align with those values. It’s useful for stress, anxiety, and decisions about role and parenting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to ease symptoms such as low mood, sleep problems, or anxiety. It uses step-by-step strategies and short exercises between sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early connection styles affect current reactions; it can help people understand why they respond strongly in relationships and parenting situations.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and recommend techniques to try. Over the first few sessions she will adjust the emphasis on skills work, values-based steps, or relationship pattern work based on what is most useful for you.
The biography does not give specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists and licensed professionals often adapt exercises and homework for remote meetings so you can practice changes in everyday life.
