About Susan
Susan Hargett is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood shifts, and ADHD. She writes plainly and listens closely to understand what each person is struggling with. Her approach aims to reduce overwhelm and help people find clearer next steps.
Susan uses straightforward talk therapy to build self-compassion and stronger coping skills. She focuses on practical strategies for day-to-day life, such as managing mood swings, handling seasonal low periods, and improving self-esteem.
Background and approach
Sessions emphasize small, doable changes rather than big, abstract goals. Over 11 years in practice have shaped a calm, steady style. She blends problem-solving tools with attention to how thoughts and behaviors interact.
That mix helps people notice patterns and try different responses when old approaches stop working. Susan also supports people who are rethinking life purpose, working through forgiveness, or practicing more self-love. Her work often includes short-term coaching moves alongside deeper emotional work, depending on what a person needs in the moment.
Her goal is to help clients move from feeling stuck to having clearer options and more confidence. Conversations are paced to match the person’s needs, and progress is tracked with concrete steps people can use between sessions.
How practical therapy methods translate online
Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and following what matters most to the person. In online sessions this means the therapist reflects what the client says and helps identify priorities for change. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to shift mood and functioning; it works well for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related executive challenges, and mood regulation. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clear communication, which can be useful when strong emotions feel disruptive.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose which tools to try first, adjust methods as progress happens, and balance short-term problem solving with deeper skill-building. Clients set goals and the therapist helps track small steps toward them.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for more in-depth conversation and skill coaching. Phone sessions can fit during a break or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text are convenient for brief check-ins, quick skill reminders, or when typing feels easier than talking. These options make it simpler to fit sessions into busy lives and keep momentum between meetings.
