Dr. Susan Wise, LPC - Therapist in Missouri

About Susan

Dr. Susan Wise is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Missouri. She has 16 years of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, sleeping problems, relationship concerns, parenting challenges, and addictions.

She also works with clients on career stress, compassion fatigue, LGBT issues, and related areas such as hoarding and jealousy. Her style is straightforward and respectful. She listens first, then shapes conversations around what matters most to each person.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on practical steps and clear tools that people can try between meetings. She aims to make therapy feel understandable, not overwhelming. Clinically, she draws on methods like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based approaches.

Those methods are used to address thoughts, behaviors, and relationship patterns. She also integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy and client-centered techniques when they help reach a goal. Dr.

Wise tailors each plan to the individual. She matches techniques to the client’s needs, pace, and life situation. That can mean working on emotion regulation, changing unhelpful thinking, or strengthening how someone connects with others.

She offers sessions in English and Esperanto and accepts international clients. Practical concerns such as scheduling and subscription details are handled through the intake process so people can focus on their goals.

Online approaches that meet everyday parenting and stress needs

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small actions that move someone toward a life they care about, which can help with stress and parenting strain. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and offers tools to change unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, sleeping problems, and depression. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how relationships shape behavior and emotion, and it can help when relationship patterns or past losses make day-to-day life harder.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit their situation, and adjust as needed. Decisions about methods are collaborative, and the plan can change based on what helps most.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy family lives and to continue work between appointments. Licensed professionals can use these options to deliver consistent, flexible care that focuses on practical steps and steady progress.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
